Manihiki Magic - Glass Float
From Manihiki to Rarotonga The anniversary of our arrival to Manihiki has just past on April 10 th. What an incredible year it has been. Rarotonga – Aitutaki – Manihiki – Rarotonga – Auckland - San Francisco – Frankfurt – Hamburg – Nice – Hamburg – Shanghai – Auckland – Rarotonga. Back home in lovely Tupapa after a 6.5-month adventure around the world. Time flies and I sure hope that the four of us will remember the important bits and do the moments justice. We are particularly grateful for little reminders of our time in Tukao. One of those, thanks to Papa Tobia Junior, is now proudly hanging on our porch in Tupapa: an original glass float from the lagoon of Manihiki. This post is about how the glass float rested over 20 years under the surface of Manihiki Lagoon, traveled the 1,000 km down south to Rarotonga and ended up in our home.
