We rented a scooter and explored the lush & green island. Lots of goats, cats and no dogs. Dogs are not allowed on Aitutaki. The daughter of the king was bitten one day and ever since dogs were banned. What a shame !
We had lunch at an authentic local favorite take away. They made a mean burger with coleslaw. Terry loved it!
We spent the rest of the day on the beach and our villa before going to Puffy's for a terrible fish & chip. The beach bar had a great review on Trip advisor but you can'talways believe these reviews. My salad was good at least and the cooks very friendly.
Saturday June 29
Last day in paradise started with another beautiful breakfast by the pool at Etu Moana. We had to check out but fortunately the resort made lockers available to us and showers before our flight.
We spent the day walking on the beach, kayaking and having lunch at Tamanu a 5 minute walk on the beach. No need to walk the streets there, you just need to walk the beach to get wherever you want to go!!
Our hosts drop us off at the airport at 6pm. We boarded our 7th flight of the trip on time. When we arrived in Rarotonga, New Zealand airline told us that we would not depart at minight as planned. The plane leftAuckland late and we would leave 2 hours late! This meant a 6hour wait in a tiny airport with nothing to do. We ended up leaving at 2:30am and missed our connecting flight to Vancouver. We ended up spending 3.5 hours going thru security and jumping thru the reconnecting flight arrangement. Oh boy! It is painful flying thru the US. We made it home at 11pm on June 30th after 25 hours traveling!
