Day 7 - Rarotonga and Aitutaki

Today was our last day on Rarotonga. We have an evening flight over to Aitutaki. We went to church at the Takitumu branch. It was kind of scary. We weren't sure what we would find or if church would even be in English. But to our delight, everything was in English (with the occaisional Maori). It's amazing how the church is exactly the same no matter where in the world you are. We were quickly made to be at home with hugs and kisses from all. It is a great branch and though it is small in size, they have an amazing spirit there. It was a lot of fun for both of us. Then we spent the afternoon reading on the beach waiting for our flight to leave. In the evening, we took a quick 50 minute flight to get to Aitutaki. It is north of Rarotonga. It is usually 5 degrees or so warmer here. The airport was this tiny little building but once again we were greeted with a beautiful lei and we were whisked away to our next amazing resort. On the way we passed a group of protestors who were protesting Sunday flights to the island. We stay at the Pacific Resort Aitutaki. It has won many awards and just won the world's best boutique resort. Wow, and we got to stay here. It is beautiful. Definitely what dreams are made of. We had a bungalow right on the beach. We could walk right outside to the lagoon. The lagoon was amazing for snorkeling. And all of this just right outside our door.
