Entry:

This is our first journal entry in our trip journal of Austin Adventures. We arrived in Raratonga, Cook Islands after gaining a day passing over the International Dateline. Our 1st day was partly cloudy, immediately we headed for the beach. Dallas wasted no time in looking for fish. Austin and I got our bathing suits on and played in the sand and water.

Sand Castle


Naso Tang DOA

Our first night we decided to stay in as we were all tired from the long flight and adjusting to the time difference. We ate tuna fish, salt and vinegar chips and licorice.
