After our cycling trip we flew to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands to rest our legs on the beach. Rarotonga is one of those places you didn't think actually existed. The island was stunningly beautiful, clean, safe, and friendly. We rented a villa on the south shore of the island and would literally see 10 people walk by on on the beach each day. Our spot was like something out of a travel magazine. We've never seen such beautiful sunsets. Each one was different and the colors changed by the minute. The pictures don't even begin to do the island justice!
