I had a good few days in Moorea but again it was soooo expensive and I was so pleased when i landed in the Cook Islands. The main island here is Raratonga and it is the most special place I have ever been. The color of the water is amazing. Its totally turquoise and you just want to stay in it all day. Its also a really good value place but beware the local beer, it is really really strong. 9% proof! I'm leaving tomorrow but have had a great time cycling round the island - you can do it in a couple of hours - and just chilling, reading etc.

The locals are great and we went to a sunday church service where they made us really welcome.

I've only spent about $40 a day all in which is a great change from French Polynesia! This is an awesome place, make sure you come here soon.
