Another busy day here in the Cook Islands. We just completed Day 1 of the Tourism Conference called KOCI. (which means Kia Orana Cook Islands).
Guest speakers, panel discussions, and all that fun business jazz goes into the brain power of promoting a unique destinations such as the Cooks.
The venue today was the Highland Paradise Cultural Center, high in the hills with majestic views of the ocean.

Here I am (top photo above) with the two ladies that are pictured in the Cook's Tourism ad (below). They work for the Cooks Tourism Bureau and are both a complete riot! I love them!
Marae are 'tapu' or ancient sites where Islanders used to have ceremonies & rituals.

Tomorrow is the sought after day trip to Aitutaki, (know as heaven on earth) to those who have experienced it. Many say it rivals Bora Bora for sheer beauty and a remote tropical feel. Stay tuned!
Dinner tonight was at one of Rarotonga’s top restaurants Vaima. Tables right on the beach, excellent food. I highly recommend it!
The Cooks offers really unique dining options. It is all about getting out of your hotel and dining around. There are no chains restaurants or franchises here, so it is all one of a kind.
