The airport of Rarotonga is on the edge of the island. If you know when the big plane from New Zealand is landing, (and if it is coming in the right direction) you can stand on the road that runs along the end of the runway and watch it come over the water and then land over the top of your head. Obviously, it is noisy as ever and very windy when this happens.
This trip, I didn't get to do that, but I did take one of my morning walks along the road and view the water and the artwork on the wall at the end of the runway.

9am was the wrong time for any flights but the right time to miss the heat and still admire that amazing beach view.
