ReplyDeleteMy wife and I were there for a wedding last summer. I was the best man and the reception was at the Mauraetai Beach Club. The video doesn't do the country complete justice.

If I may paraphrase Heinlein..."I know a land where the air is sweet, the people friendly, and the roads go ever on and on...I could go back there. I could."
