Hi all,

I hope you are all doing well. We are in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. It is absolutely amazing. We have stayed in a cool hostel and met the best bunch of people.

The island itself it so beautiful. Picture postcard kind of stuff. I had quite a moment yesterday when i was sitting on the beach in Muri Lagoon. I thought to myself this is what life is all about. The sand is so white and the water is so blue. When you are in the water there are schools of fish swimming around. It is just beautiful.

We have just chilled out all day with everyone. We had our Paddy's here. We had quite a few drinks. The island didnt know what had hit it. Last night we went to a traditional island night. It is a must here. Ken got some dance lessons from a local girl. Lucky i dont get jealous.

Last sunday we went to mass. Can you believe it? We only went cos you get free lunch after. Then to make it worse we went to the shop and persuaded the woman to sell us beer eventhough it is illegal on Sundays. We are going to Hell!!!!

Well better go. Have just had the best time ever here. Really dont want to leave. It is just an amazing place. So chilled out.

Lotsa Love
Emma and Ken

PS. Ken is getting a traditional Maori tattoo today.
