The Wedding of The Year - What a Day

So Thursday continued on, the Wifi is a little erratic but when you get the signal, it is fine.

The blogger and Joseph

After the chores we wandered down to the beach, It was a beautiful day again.

We all have to be careful, not to burn, that poxy winter skin

One thing about the fake tan, there is not quite the same urge to expose one’s skin frantically, in hope of getting some quick colour. One can take one’s time.

One must look good at the wedding don’t you know!

Got ourselves chairs and pozies already and Lying in the sand commenced

Next chore getting into town for lunch

Dan, Helen and kids took off on their trusty steeds

Dale and I caught the Clockwise Bus

Bought a 10 trip pass.

Perfect

Ah, Traders Jacks

Perfect for lunch.

Great view

Very good Bloody Marys there, spicy.

Great aperitif

Followed by a taster of Ika Mata and garlic bread

Not quite as good as Dan’s but up there

Then, in no particular order,

Fish and Chips

Pizza

Grilled swordfish,

Smoked Marlin Salad

With a cheeky little Pinot Noir chilled down with ice, to make it go further

Drink as much fluid, but not so much alcohol

Cheaper!

Yes

Very pleasant

This is the "Wine Mantra" for this Vacation

Wonder how long it will last

So back on the bus home

Drop off at the Cooks Oasis

Afternoon Nap, Pool, Dressed ready for cocktails

The Groom to be  Tim and his lovely Bride to Be Tina, hosted drinks at our old haunt Aroa, Shipwreck Bar

Tina, second from right, with visitors from New Zealand!

They serve their drinks in Jam Jars here, and some great Music on the Side

This night was Rudy more about him later

Dan and Helen rode off and we found a taxi

Wont be doing many of those

$25 for about 5 kms

Maitais etc all round

Meanwhile Tim had a sad, sad tale to tell

He is now sporting The Rarotonga Tattoo

Incident with a dog and a bus

Luckily it is all superficial but not too pretty

Hopefully this can be covered up with clothes

White Clothes???

Lovely time at The Bar

Taxi Driver John brought us home

Dan and Helen cooked a great fish dinner with coconut rice and a spicy salsa

Served on their deck

 Home to bed and read

And I woke up this morning, with nothing on my mind.

Here we go onto another beautiful day

The Gods are shining on Tim and Tina
