You may not have noticed, but brownie points if you did, that 25th appeared twice. You could be forgiven for thinking that 6 weeks into a holiday I may become confused as to what date it is, and I have indeed forgotten the day on many occasion but this reference is correct. Flying out to the Cook Islands means that although we have gone forward by another 2 hrs (we have gone forward on every flight so far) we have now crossed to international date line. So… we left NZ at 8pm on 25th August, arrived in the Cook Islands at midnight NZ time but being 2 hours ahead we are now 2am (still with me?) but in fact this is now 2am on 25th not 26th. We have 25th to enjoy all over again!! But not in a ground hog day kinda way, you get to do something completely different!

On this particular 25th August we hired scooters. You have to take a test at the police station + have a current driving licence to get a Cook Islands driving licence.
