Honeymoon in the Cook Islands

First on Aitutaki, one of the smaller Cook Islands, now on Rarotonga, the main island...the Cook Island adventure/honeymoon has been full of fun!

Check out our first stopping point on Aitutaki, Etu Moana (means blue starfish...which they have a lot of here). Tons of great snorkelling and a trip around the lagoon for more...snorkelling!

Then on Rarotonga, rented a yamaha motorbike and cruised around the entire island and found an awesome indian restaurant "Raviz". Then looked at some waves that actually looked surfable (though dangerous!). The next day we took the bike to the end of the road and hopped off for a jungle hike through the thickest vegetation i've ever seen. At the top of the mountain we could see the ocean on both sides of the island. The huge rock face is called "Needle Point".

Besides all the fantastic fishes and sea life, kimball also found two octopi! here's a picture of one of them swimming for his life.
