âHi Gary,
âYou're obviously having a blast there on Aitutaki, and getting blasted by
wind, too!
When Rochelle and I went to the Cook Islands, it was also during the 2nd
week of April. We encountered crazy weather too but without the high
winds...just moderately windy. We'd have torrential downpours for a few
minutes, then a parting of the clouds and the blazing sun would cause
billowing steam to rise from the streets and taro fields. After a while
we'd be seeking shade, and happy when the cloud cover reconvened. This
cycle repeated over and over every few hours, and for each day of our trip.
I only wish we had sought out Aitutaki as you have; we stayed on Rarotonga
the entire time.
BTW, have you logged Niue yet? I tried every day and evening to hear them
but without success.
Kia Orana,
Guy
