Circle Pacific 1998/99 - Day 17 - Cook Islands

• Two buses around Rarotonga - 1 clockwise, 1 counter-clockwise - leave every 1/2 hour from Avarua
• Took bus to southeast coast to snorkel - borrowed equipment from stand called "Fruits of Rarotonga" as suggested by Mary
• Nice snorkeling - small rainbow-colored fish called sunset wrasse, sea slug, spiny urchins, blue starfish, bluish coral
• Almost better: the fruit stand's coconut scones, served w/ butter, jam, and whipped cream - yes please!
