Surviving Aitutaki
The flight from Rarotonga to Aitutaki is short (less than an hour) but it gives you a sense of how much in the middle of nowhere you are. Leaving Raro behind, you see nothing but deep blue ocean until Aitutaki appears, its lagoon a brilliant turquoise.
The island is so small I wonder if the airplane will have enough room to land! Having heard about the changes in security due to the London plot, we are amused and actually relieved to notice that we are not only allowed to carry liquids on the plane, but also that one of our fellow passengers is carrying a machete wrapped up in his jacket! Land we do, and we are greeted at the Aitutaki International Airport by our driver who will take us to our cabins on stilts where we will stay for three nights.
