6 Sep 2012 Rain was threatening this evening - visible up on the hills behind our house, but it stayed clear of the market. As promised we had a new addition to the market tonight - Nima’s range of vegetarian foods had locals coming all the way from Arorangi. The falafel were the first to sell out, so we went for couple of crispy coated rice balls. Yum.
Highlights from the booth were solo-kid-portraits (feat. ‘Monkey’), a final photo-op for visitors catching the early morning flight home, big groups and family pix.

29 Aug 2012 The Pacific Leaders Forum saw a few market-regulars drafted into service this week - from driving to catering, pretty much the whole island has been swept-up in the preparations and logistics for the event. The market was visited by the Chinese delegation, who took in the craft stalls and Cook Islands dancing. It was a slow booth night - made brighter by a group of visitors who took couples photos for their grandchildren. We also welcomed the return of AWOL stall holders from last year debuting new products, including chilled mango and passionfruit juice - manea maata.

25 Aug 2012 Visitors to the island for the Pacific Leaders Forum arrived in Rarotonga this week, so there were a few new faces (and dialects), at the market today. PICI continued their CI shark sanctuary petition just behind us - sign it when you seem them. One family visiting the booth let us know that we’ve made a ‘top things to do in Raro’ list - meitaki maata:).

18 Aug 2012 A Saturday of big family groups down at the market - the occasions including an escape from the NZ Winter, weddings, and a 60th birthday. We also had Jess and volunteers from the Pacific Islands Conservation Initiative (PICI) promoting the proposed Cook Islands Shark Sanctuary - collecting signatures and selling a great range of t-shirt and singlet tops. Head over to their FB Page and Like ’em.
