Because the balloon ride was dependent on weather and NOTHING could be booked as a certainty. The honeymoon was no exception. Flights could not be booked until the very last minute, I mean very last minute, i.e 4hrs after the wedding! So race was on to find somewhere magical to follow such a magical day. The ballon ride was a hard act to follow. But 48hrs later. I believe that Rarotonga and the beautiful blue lagoons of muri beach had the right sort of magic.
We booked our room at the Muri Beachcomber on the afternoon of our actual wedding day!
