Cook Islands .........
As soon as you land at the airport ,welcomed by the pervading perfume of Frangipani ,you immediately step into Cook Island time .

Me too ...If you ask about the time of something ,the answer is always " it depends "
The road circles the island and it is 32 kms .(seen on right )the speed limit is 40 kph .so safe !

This is an early morning scene at the market -vegetable plants for sale ,very healthy and vigorous ,but most of which were unfamiliar to us .

A Banana plantation .It was hard to find ripe (yellow) bananas to buy ,as bananas are cooked green ,and are rather nice cooked on a barbecue that way .

As you see by the cone ,the island was formed by volcanoes .The soil is rich ,volcanic red .The market gardens are beautifully kept .

Mama Neke might never imagine her sign will be seen around the world (by sympathetic gardeners )
The sign reads :
WARNING
No trespassing and stealing ask me first before you help yourself
