I love the beautiful warm summer sun that is still here in September. The only thing missing is a beach with a beautiful sunset...and some yummy papayas 😅

This picture here is from my travels to the Cook Islands where the afforementioned things were indeed present 😄

As per request: one more photograph of the beautiful Cook Islands. This time it's from the main island Rarotonga. Correct me if my memory is betraying me, but I'm nearly sure this is Muri Beach.
Oh, to be there now!

Have a nice and relaxing weekend everyone ☀️

Have you been to the Cook Islands in the South Pacific on a holiday trip? Then you probably know the feeling of having found paradise on earth. If not, I can highly recommend it (but please don't go all at once 😅 it hopefully never will be a place for mass tourism)

White sandy beaches, clear turquoise water and lush green palm trees - Welcome to Paradise!
