Yet another great day in Aitutaki. Our resort, the Pacific Resort, is simply amazing. We are getting very spoiled, very quickly. We started out our day in the Rapae Bay Restaurant here at the resort with a great breakfast with an amazing view.

Banana Coconut Pancakes with a Fried Banana on Top

Fresh Fruit Plate (the passion fruit pictured in the front are fantastic)

The view from the Rapae Bay Restaurant ... a great way to start the day.

After breakfast, Ryan took one of the ocean kayaks out while Clint stayed in to read.

Later, we explored the resort a bit more …

… had lunch, and noticed that the resort staff was setting up for the New Year’s Eve bash, even though there was a brief rain shower.

We arrived at the New Year’s Eve party at dinner time, had a great meal (again!), and enjoyed the local entertainment.

And at the stroke of midnight, we toasted with some champagne and welcomed 2010.

For our first day in 2010, we’re getting up early (a wake up call on vacation seems very wrong) and will be spending the day out in the lagoon on an organized lagoon tour/snorkeling trip. We hope to have some terrific images to share tomorrow. Until then, Happy New Year!
