Day 3 - Rarotonga

Today we found out that the hot spot for the internet was put on backwards so still no internet for today. (But they should come fix it and knock on our door when it's done). Today we went up in the hills for an island heritage visit. (similar to the polynesian cultural center in Hawaii). We went up to some land that one of the queen's donated to share the island culture with visitors. We had an awesome guide named Donny. (I swear he was LDS even if Craig doesn't think so). He shared stories of wars and traditions with us, showed us around their amazing plantation, and then we enjoyed a "light" lunch of chicken, sandwiches, potato salad, salad, coleslaw, island fries, island spinch in coconut milk, and fruit. We were stuffed. And we had to go back later in the evening for the buffet and dance show. We went back for a quick nap and a swim in the lagoon. Then it was time for a buffet of all their native foods and a fantastic dance show showcasing their history. We had lots of fun.

P.S. At the end of the night, the internet finally worked. Veeeeerrrryyy slooooowww but working.
