The view from my hostel. Behind those trees is the ocean.

A typical August day on a beach in Rarotonga.

Found on a walk on the beach. Not sure of the full story here.

Taken about two feet from shore. Lots of aquatic life here, really the main reason to visit.

I spent half an hour one night kicking around ocean water and taking pictures. Like this one.

One of the countless roosters that crow every morning. Starting very, very early.

Me at the top point of the walk across the center of Rarotonga. I thought the worst was over. I was wrong.

The cold but refreshing waterfall I jumped in after finishing the walk.

A largely completed, yet abandoned hotel. Rumours run rampant involving the Mafia, but who knows.

The PM is for "Prime Minister", and just happened upon this outside a resort as I was walking home one day.

The stage in the largest amphitheatre in the Cook Islands, where I saw cultural performances that I couldn't photograph.

This picture was taken during daylight. Odd. Just as I took it, a coconut fell off the tree I'd been standing under moments prior.

The closest thing to a sunset I saw in my time there.
