2 litres of milk costs NZD $12 in Raro
Cook Island Marae are quite different from NZ . no walls or rooves, just some stones laid out in the grass to mark out who sits where.
We saw a "bashing-rock" where the daughter's heads were crushed by their fathers if they were caught cheating on their husbands or stealing. the men were sent to the front line of the battles as their punishment.
It took just 7 years to convert the Cook Islands from Cannibalism to Christianity, and it's only been 6 generations since that change.
The test for a motorcycle licence consists of going around the block, four left turns and you've passed. :-)
