carefully manicured jungle with a quaint café. There are several art<br />
galleries around the island, and you can buy handcrafted ukuleles<br />
from inmates at the Arorangi Prison.<br />
The Punanga Nui marketplace on a Saturday morning is an<br />
essential itinerary item. For locals, it’s a social outing; everyone<br />
goes. From 6 a.m., you can visit the open-air market to get your<br />
fresh nu (coconut water) and local fruits and vegetables. You can<br />
also buy cooked food, both international – the crepes and waffles<br />
are popular – and local delicacies. There’s something for every<br />
eater, from smoothies to stir-fry to sausage rolls. The Punanga Nui<br />
market is also a one-stop souvenir shop. You can buy everything<br />
from island music to large handmade quilts to coconut oil to<br />
hand-painted pareu (sarongs). Mamas sell hats and bags woven<br />
out of coconut fibre. Pearl farmers sell their black pearls, cultivated<br />
and harvested on the island of Manihiki, 1100 kilometres north of<br />
Rarotonga.<br />
If you miss the Punanga Nui market, there are souvenir shops<br />
around the island, most of them in Avarua, where you can pick<br />
up something for friends and family members who had the great<br />
misfortune of not joining you in paradise.<br />

though the missionaries ruled in authoritarian ways, imposing<br />
outrageous fines and penalties on the disobedient, their gospel<br />
stuck. Church is a pillar of any Cook Islands community, both at<br />
home and overseas. Congregations are welcoming if you dress<br />
modestly, behave respectfully, and take some gold coins for the<br />
