The problem with too many sprogs there, is that people come back and talk about the place...

Soooo, the appropriate comments are "it's a shithole" "far too many terrorists there" "the transportation is crap and the locals are VERY unfriendly..."

Did you get out to Aiututaki?

Na, i have a brother n' law that is from there, now lives in Whakatane, there was however, 3 wedding while we were there and they all went out to Aiututaki....50 min flight away...then, if you want to, its another 3 hr flight to the northern most Island of the Cooks group...
Transportation?.... one bus goes clockwise and the other goes anticlockwise all day.... scooters cost us $120 each for 8 days and $10 to be legal....

Looks like you had a good time - well done.
I was working up there for a week in March and noticed there seemed to be a lot more rugrats around than the last time I was there, especially at the Edgewater. I blame the Fiji coups

Mostly Fijians working at the Edgewater....awsome people, became friendly with a couple of them...give em' shit, they love it...they give it straight back....we only used the Edgewater for sleeping/breakfast (free) and happy hour and maybe a bit of snorkling, but mostly we were out, eating elsewhere, stopping where ever we wanted to and snorkel for a bit/swim etc and sat at the bar from 8pm onwards when the brats were locked away.

Any activities you can recommend over there? We'll probably go for 8 or 9 nine days (hopefully next winter) and there is a slight possibility that we may get sick of lazing around the pool and walking on the beach.
Actually a scooter race with Mrs Oakie around the island might be fun. Just like the Isle of Man! Well, Ok, a little bit different. (I wonder how many KBers we could get over there at once for our very own TT?)

Well i did try and entice some to come over and do the Raro GP...there is shit loads to do there if thats what you want, but i would suggest getting a scooter asap and just do ya own thing, our days included stopping anywhere for and feed/drink... free snorkling gear/reef shoes under the seat, stopping at any of those fantastic beaches...the sand on the western side seems almost powder like, the fish you see? you wont beleive. I just ride around and see a road/driveway and go up to see whats there, thats the when you fined the best places...one place was the Waterline Bar and Grill...10/10 on every aspect...the best sunset pics were taken there, its owned by a cool guy called Chris...seats about 14 people and he remembers your name and keeps the drinks coming...awesome feed to....Fish and Chip place by the Harbour entrance/boat ramp...cheep and fucken yum...plate of chill battered prawns $8.50...you would $26 for the same thing anywhere else.

Still smiling for you both.You guys deserve this..Love the sunsets

Sold a few bikes to guys in Rarotonga. Last was a Red/White 700 Raptor quad. Supposedly for towing a water blaster. A lap of the island shouldn't take too long on that.
