Other points of interest:
We have been in Aitutaki for 5 days, and are all quite relaxed. The boat has been wife(ised) and is much more homely now.
We understood that the bananas would ripen over 5 days, however 5 days after buying them they were all ripe, all 100 of them! It has become a competition to devise creative ways to eat them, so far we have had:
- fried banana
- banana salsa sandwiches
- banana daiquiri(s...)
- banana-colada(s)
- banana cake
- banana on muesli
- banana by themselves....
-...etc
Shay and Jo have hired a hobbie cat to get them to the sandbar and have been kitesurfing most days so far, even spotting a turtle on the way one day. An International Kitesurfing comp starts tomorrow.
Expecting a quiet night tonight (without the tropical disco on shore) being Sunday when everything stops.
Sun is about to set, another day in tropical paradise is about to end with a banana cocktail I think!

Hi guys
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to send you comments but don't think it's working! You can use banana as bait on lines in the lagoon and catch parrot fish, that way you don't have to eat the bananas!

Hey I think that worked this time! What did I do differently?
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't get a comment I sent a few days ago... Malcolm and I will be in Rarotonga (with a side trip to Aitutaki) in less than 3 weeks but you'll probably be gone by then. Are you still planning to go to palmerston?
