Coming to the end

We are coming to the end of our time here on Rarotonga. It is always bittersweet. We are ready to move on, but have had a wonderful stay. Bubby is madly snapping photos of every little thing, wanting to have memories of our stay. She wanted to capture our early morning serenade for our readers. These fellows start calling to each other at about 3:00 AM. It goes on all day long. We are particularly partial to this guy, having heard his distinctive vocalizations very often. Turn up your computer speakers.



Bubby laid the camera on top of head as we were driving into our little bungalow. At least you can see what a garden this place is. The grounds are immaculate.



These are minah birds, imported from India. They were imported in the 50's and immediately drove out all of the native birds. They are quite cheeky and you have to keep an eye on foodstuffs.



Here is our cool ride. It has served us faithfully during our stay, and will have to be returned by 2:30 PM today. Unfortunately we will have to take the bus and then walk to Sam and Momi's tonight.



Below are more beautiful photos of the grounds. We have certainly enjoyed this location, as we have done the other three times we have come. There is still time for some fishing before the tide goes out and we have to start packing things up.
