I got up, had breakfast, and headed to the hammock to relax. After dozing for a while, I got on the pushbike and headed toward the Samboa bar next to the airport. I found Folkert sitting there next to a German woman and joined them for an afternoon siesta.
Time just passed by lazily as we sat in the shade or in the cool water of the lagoon and enjoyed the scenery and the art of passing time on the island. I got in and out of the water a few times but nothing special. The Spanish woman from the hostel joined us a little while later and they stayed until right before the lagoon cruise ships started to come back.
After watching the ships passed by me in the water, I got back on the pushbike again and started my way home via the western end of the island. I took the same trail as yesterday, through the coconut groves and mango patches but I took a turn to the right and headed up the hill instead.

| Sunset at Tom's Cottage - Aitutaki, Cook Islands |
It was another tranquil ride in the forest on the pushbike for me and I highly recommend it to anybody coming to Aitutaki. I went back to the hostel after that but headed to a German guy's house to try to fix his computer. My magic touch worked again because the computer magically worked by itself when I touched it. I went home for dinner and shower after that and then watched the sunset with the friends I've met at this hostel.
I did a short show and tell to the group of people with pictures of Bermuda and other places I've traveled before. We played cards after that and ended another relaxing day at the Cooks.
