Cook Islands - Paradise on Earth (continued, p.2) In addition to parties who meet on Friday nights in the city Avarva, we went for an evening of local culture. This view of local folk music, dancing and buffet meals from the kitchen island, I recommend to visit. Although I am not a supporter of such tourist attractions, the meals were very tasty, and I must admit, I liked the costumes, dances, and how happy the inhabitants of the Cook Islands play the ukulele (Hawaiian guitar, approx. Perevi.). Island food and dance We stayed in an inexpensive and quite decent housing complex Bekpekers Rarotonga, in the beach house with a kitchen and a large balcony, which was located 10 meters from the beach. If funds permit, you can stay in a luxurious complex "Rumorz-of-Peredayz" which in which a customer's service for beach houses with private swimming pool, a waterfall, a large whirlpool bath heater, from which at night you can admire the starry sky, and the room- cinema with a screen 2.5 meters. Traveller's notes Aitutaki Aitutaki Island - a paradise that is very similar to the ideal image of the island with the cards: the crystal clear waters, colorful corals growing on shallow and sandy beaches with white sand. All this is just one big picture is perfect. Islet area of ??only 18 sq km is a part of one of the world's most beautiful atolls, which includes 15 other small islands. The atmosphere on this island with a population of 1800 people more friendly and relaxed than on Rarotonga. The locals always greet you wherever you go. Tours of the beautiful lagoon is a major attraction for tourists. During this tour you will visit the island of Maine (a great place to snorkel), Honeymoon Island, a place where they filmed those TV reality shows like "Survivor" and "Shipwrecked", and the tiny island the size of a few meters. Another tourist attraction is the lowest in the world of the post office where you can get a stamp in his passport. It is located in a small hut on the beach. Scooter - the best means of transportation despite the small size of the island, it is always possible to find things to do, but tours of the lagoon. For example, a walk to the summit of the highest mountain called Maungapu (124 m), which overlooks the lagoon. Swim the best on the beach O'otur, which is located on the spit Samad, close to the prestigious Hotel Aitutaki Lagoon, which is located on a small island nearby. Also worth visiting a beach bar. Still make sense to go to church on Sunday (10 am): We liked the local energetic chants and that the natives dress in white robes and beautiful headdresses. The island church We also remember the flight to the island of Aitutaki. During the flight in a small plane is best to take a seat near the window to the left of the aisle, at the beginning tail of the plane, and then you better make out the island on approach. We lived in a beachfront complex Matriki ", which is the only affordable hotel on the island, though not something in the guide" Lonely Planet "(Lonely Planet - a large publishing house specializing in the production of guidebooks, approx. Perevi.) It is not mentioned because the author could not find him during his last visit. The owner of the complex Mathias, a native of Germany, has long been resident in Australia, New Zealand and the Cook Islands, a great man, and you instantly feel at home. "Matriki is located on the west side of the main island and offers a great place to snorkel right near the beach house. Complex "Matriki" consists of only 4 houses, so that the number of guests is limited, and the atmosphere here is very friendly. All guests were very nice people, and we felt like one big happy family during their entire stay. Wedding of our neighbors during just one week we visited our neighbors at the wedding, which took place right in front of our house, barbecue, visited the uninhabited island with all the guests (we are still 7 persons). And yet we go fishing, learn to dive from a springboard, staged a night snorkeling (snorkeling), played guitar with Matthias and simply enjoyed the ease of island life. If you prefer privacy, this apartment complex as you too will come up. Houses stand apart, far enough away from each other. In most other hotels we visited, there is no personal approach and not enough quiet island atmosphere. So even if we decided to spend more money on a hotel, we still would have chosen a beach complex Matriki. Local Entertainment Home of the material:
