After a sleep deprived long night in the plane, we land on Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands,a Pacific Country!!It is tropical here, and our little bodies are struggling with the moist and heat of the rainy season...total body shock!!!However we are welcomed by an old man singing and playing Ukulele, in the airport, at 5 o'clock in the morning!!
Robin is here to pick us up and takes us to our beach bungalow, set on a carpet of lush vegetation, within the Muri lagoon.The view is amazing, blue sea, clear waters, dazzling tropical colours, friendly dogs (yes...), gigantic crabs, stray cats sleeping on our deck, palm trees, a little wood bungalow.We rest, try to make sense of the surroundings, go for a walk, a swim, watch the lagoon, try to adjust to the heat, get completely soaked wet by the tropical rain (more like a monsoon shower...) and eat some amazing local raw fish and that is it....We hope to be on 'island time' soon, walk a little slower, think a little less, be a little more, relax together and savour each moment... in paradise.

Hi you two. It's fantastic to see your photos - it looks wonderful, and you have a cat to keep you company as well! You are missing the big chill here - no let up yet.
Really enjoyed reading about LA - it matches my own feelings about the city. Glad you got to see so much in the days you were there. Fab - what camera did you buy in the end?!
Take care, relax well,
love Mandy x
alors là je créve d'envie d'étre là bas aussi parce que ici c'est neige et grand froid (-7°c à Paris ce maatin!!)
It's sunny and really cold here in NY. And I am glad to see Fab finally in shorts (and flower necklace no less): time to ... Relax ... Take-it-easssyyyy- yeah!
You know we love you but all of a sudden with -10 in London and you in Polynesia...we were very envious for a second but know that you are having a great time so enjoy it and keep us posted.
We miss you loads.
Val & Fab
Bravo !!
bravo d'avoir été au bout de ce projet "fou", car oui il fallait une bonne dose d'énergie, de courage et de liberté pour passer à l'acte et concrétiser ce désir qui logeait dans vos têtes depuis qqs années/
Et puis bravo aussi pour le blog: c'est agréable de vous lire et de voir les images de votre pays d'accueil provisoire, de voir surtout ces images insolites
a bientôt
