Rarotonga International Airport and the Capital of Avarua.
***************************************************
The International Airport on Rarotonga and its capital of Avarua as seen by a Google Earth photo. Plans are in the works to extend the runway to enable longer range and larger aircraft to land and take off. The airport was originally built by the Americans in 1944, and the building which now serves as the "Cook Islands" parliament, was the construction crews living quarters. There are also consultation and planning for a deep water berth for cruise ships. At present visiting cruise ships have to anchor off shore and ferry boats bring the passengers ashore. Later in 2009 Rarotonga are hosting "The Pan-Pacific Mini Games."
