For lunch, we drove to Avarua, which was bustling with tourists. This was during the Southern Hemisphere winter so there were quite a few people from Australia and New Zealand trying to escape the cold weather. Speaking of, the weather was very pleasant, probably mid 20s°C or so. It was humid, but I do remember it being kind of breezy so it wasn’t uncomfortable. We ended up going to a fish and chip shop which did a very nice flake.



After our afternoon session, it was back at the hotel. I don’t remember us doing much that evening. Despite being somewhere different, I do remember wanting to take it easy as much as I could on our work days. This was not just because we were working or my lack of sleep: I’m someone who wants to maintain much of my habits as possible. Which, reflecting back, was probably not a great attitude to have when abroad, even though we were there for work. I like to think I’m getting better at this. Work hard, play hard, travel hard.
