This is actually a scan of a postcard of one of my photos, so the quality isn't that great. I have started digging through my 250,000+ photos to find the original slides, and when I do I will have them scanned professionally and be able to show a better rendition of the scene. Anyway, this is the old, relatively untouched South pacific. When I was there, there had only been slavers, missionaries, and a few government officials from the government of the Cook Islands visiting the locals. These days are gone forever, now, as air service has started between Rarotonga and Pukapuka.

I had a business that took me to the South Pacific and also Asia (Indonesia) about 50 times. I covered a lot of territory.

Rarotonmga and even Aitutaki are really quite tame compared to some of the Northern Islands. See if you can find a way to check those out.
