So this here is the view from our bungalow,a beautiful thatched building sat on the white sandy beach. Open the double doors onto a veranda with cosy padded furniture and look out onto our own stretch of beach, with palm trees holding up a hammock for lazy days. Me? Smug?
The sea is a wide expanse of green crystal water as the volcanic island is also an atoll, the surrounding lagoon is full of coral and tropical fish. It’s no more than a meter deep and you can pretty much walk all the way out. In the distance you can see the darker sea ahead with waves breaking where the two meet, this is basically the end of the shallow reef where shelf drops off into a deep, dark ocean. We are booked to do more diving in a couple of days so we can explore this part more. Apparently this is the season for turtles in Aitutaki as it’s mating season and they all make their way north. We were lucky to see a turtle a Raratonga at this time of year, here it may be a different story.
