| Rarotonga, the emerald jewel of the Pacific. With its jagged peaks and deep valleys, fertile slopes of red earth and sparkling aquamarine lagoon, it is the classic 19th century European ideal of paradise. It was one of the last of the Cook Islands to be visited by European ships and has always been a favorite of sailors and merchants. Many old South Sea hands consider it the most beautiful island in the Pacific. |
