Rarotonga
This small, independent island was a lot of fun - we rented scooters for the whole time we were there and cruised around the place in style... the quay was a bit unsophisticated, but there were markets, restaurants and some nice beach spots on the far side of the island. Unfortunately, it was often a bit rainy and cool, but hey - we could be working!
