Cook Islands0

Sharon and I decided to spend our honeymoon on the picturesque Cook Islands. The Cook Islands (situated in the South Pacific Ocean, north-east of New Zealand) is considered one of the more romantic spots in the South Pacific, a reputation well deserved. For thirteen days we enjoyed the scenery, relaxed and swam on the Islands of Aitutaki and Rarotonga, laughing along with the very colourful locals who were always up for a lark and forever singing.

Day Six0
 
 Lake St Clair
 

Well the drive to Lake St Clair was certainly an interesting one, we went from dual highway sealed roads, to dirt road!! (Yep you read right, dirt road!!) It turns out Tasmina does not have a sealed road connecting from Launceston to Lake St Clair and you have to travel about 100 kim’s of dirt (well compacted) but still dirt road.. Still the trip is a scenic one with some odd sights along the way (like about 15 km’s of brand new security fence in the middle of no place) and of course the various lakes along the way.. Eventually we made it to Lake St Claire and quickly threw on our boots for a quick walk around the area and a boat ride around the lake..

 Day Five
 

Slept in (After New Years) and had a lazy morning!! :) Eventually getting around to putting on our boots and going for a walk to Cataract Gorge (great place for Coffee and Scones) ending up at the old power station up at the second dam (I loved the old suspension bridges on the way) before making our way back to Launceston and some more sightseeing walking around the Gardens / Parks in town..
