All Was Well With The World
Mocktails... A colourful, layered selection of fruit juices layered carefully in a tall glass with chunks of ice floating on the surface and a straw poking over the rim...
Just what was required at the end of a hot, steamy day!
There were other options on the Drinks list: cocktails, beers, wines and soft drinks, but regardless of what your Drink choice was, they were all sipped around tables set out in the forecourt beneath open-sided thatched roofs and over-looking the beach, the tranquil lagoon, and the coral reef... with the vast Pacific Ocean stretch way way into the distance...
Do I hear you muttering that you wish you were there???
However, as pleasant as all this was, the rain was threatening again and 7 month old Olivia was hungry, so we moved into the Dining Room to a table over-looking the Resort's swimming pool (Above) - and yes: also overlooking the ever-present lagoon...!
The rain was coming (The not-too-distant clouds looked ominous and dark), but it was early in the evening, and the Dinner menu looked oh-so-tempting and mouth-watering...
Here on the tranquil island of Rarotonga (sigh!), all was most definitely very well with the world...!
