Roseann visited 8 hotels yesterday in Rarotonga. Whew! After a long day, her group was rewarded with a beach party and she even had enough energy to try paddle boarding!
Roseann also made note of the adorable and sweet dogs that sometimes visit with tourists on the beaches.
Here's a picture of a friendly golden retriever that lives at Muri Beach.
Unlike other Pacific Islands, the Cooks have an outstanding non-profit Vet Rescue and Humane Society group called the Esther Honey Foundation. Vets from all over the world come for several months at a time and spay/neuter strays, fix broken bones and remedy other illnesses. It's also a popular trip with young veterinarians because they get to soak up some fabulous Island sun! It is with their great work that Rarotonga's animals (both owned and strays) have a higher quality of life. The dogs are somewhat famous because they have taught themselves 'how to fish' - Read the Discovery Magazine article on them here.
Roseann is busy again today visiting more great hotel locations and learning about the great activities on the Island.
Stay tuned for more updates!
