Day 4Our 4th day on the island is Monday, this means that the police department is open and it's time to get my Cook Islands "drivers license". We showed up at the station at 10:00 am after breakfast at the resort. Meghann made a good point; she felt the license was primarily a fund raiser for the local government because they would allow you to rent the bike without the license and there didn't appear to be anyone on patrol. We went anyway, if nothing else it made for a good scrapbook item.
The test consisted of Meghann and I waiting around the station for a half hour, me driving the scooter around the block without falling down, and waiting around another 2 hours to get the license laminated. I guess the DMV works at about the same speed no matter where you go. But in any case, the license was acquired.
Monday was pretty rainy so after doing some suovenier shopping 
in town and making our way over to Muri Beach for lunch, we headed back to the resort to take a nap. When Meghann woke up she wasn't feeling too well. Must have been something lousy in the fish 'n chips. Still, she toughed it out and drove with me out to Sunset Beach to check out a spectacular sunset.

Afterwards we ordered dinner in and watched movies for the rest of the evening in preparation for the start of our slate of tours on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
