Cross Island Track


Yesterday we hiked across the island with "Pa"...a native of the Cook Islands...a jack of all trades... acupuncturist, speaks six languages, saves lives, hikes across the island 5-7 days/week with a huge pack on his back at age 70. Also makes the BEST sandwiches in the world. Yum. The hike was amazing. A little over 2 miles in length...but ugh....he's had 39 people collapse from heart attacks.




At the top was an amazing rock with face carvings on it. Dean and I were very tempted to start bouldering. I'm sure Pa could have carried us down had we fallen..:) He's climbed it without ropes numerous times. At the end of the hike we took a quick waterfall dip which felt amazing. Today I'm recovering from "stairmaster" legs...
