Photographs can never convey the breathtaking beauty that is Aitutaki. Warm, crystal clear waters fill a triangular shaped, turquoise blue lagoon. Each leg of the triangle stretches for seven miles. Dotted around it are uninhabited, palm filled islands or "motus", with sparkling white sand. The lagoon itself is teeming with fish and to swim among them is like taking a dip in a tropical fish tank. The very lucky visitor might even catch a rare glimpse (as I did) of a turtle skimming through the waters.
