Day 5 - Rarotonga

Merry Christmas! XMAS traditions include going outside at midnight and driving around the island banging pots and pans (similar to our new year's eve). Then they have a float that drives around during the day and beats the island drums. It was fun to see. Today everything was closed. We spent the day in the lagoon. We waded over to two small islands just out in the lagoon and then we came back. In the afternoon we found our way to what was supposed to be an amazing waterfall. But because of the drought here, it was pretty much all dried up. No running water. But there was an amazing farm near the waterfall that caught Craig's eye. So we stopped and looked at everything on the farm (without being too intrusive). Then it was home to our yummy nutella sandwiches for Christmas dinner. We were able to skype the kids at grandma's house while they were on the phone with Zach. So we did get to say hello to him. It was definitely a different Christmas without the kids.
