Cook Islands: Pacific play time

Rarotonga is known for its stunning blue lagoons and sandy beaches, but there is much more to do than sit on the sun lounger, writes Andrew Bain.

As a tropical playground, Rarotonga is exceptional. The beating heart of the Cook Islands, it's ringed by reef and split by a sharp line of rainforest-covered mountains. Beaches step directly into turquoise shallows, and an interesting selection of tours showcases the island's natural assets.

Here is our pick of the five best day trips around the island.

KOKA LAGOON CRUISES

From the moment the Koka boat leaves Muri Beach, it's fun overload on the still waters of Rarotonga's lagoon. Ukuleles emerge and Koka's guides sing the boat out into the seas. Even the skipper steers with one hand as he beats a drum with the other.

From Muri Beach, the glass-bottomed boat heads south to the edge of a marine reserve, where visitors roll overboard in snorkels and masks, floating over coral bommies and clams enclosed in cages to protect them from hungry octopus.

The morning I'm here, a three-metre-long moray eel coils between bommies, looking like a train emerging from a tunnel.

Back on the boat there are pareu (sarong) tying lessons and more songs before a barbecue lunch on a sandy island just off Muri Beach. Colourful fish skirt the shores and there's time to laze on the beach before the entertainment continues with coconut-husking lessons, a hermit-crab race and a tree-climbing demonstration from a crew member who just happens to be the Polynesian coconut-tree-climbing champion - he shimmies up and down the palm in seven seconds this day.

Falkland Islands given medal for showing 'indomitable will' during Argentine invasion

The archipelago were today honoured for the "personal commitment" they showed in defending their right of self-determination during the 1982 war.

The South Atlantic medal was handed to almost 30,000 troops and civilians who served in the operation to liberate the Falklands from Argentine forces.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "I am pleased to inform the House that in 2015 the South Atlantic Medal will be presented, on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, to the Falkland Islands, in recognition of the assistance provided to the Forces of the United Kingdom during the liberation of the Islands in 1982.

"The Islanders' individual acts of courage exemplified the indomitable will and personal commitment to defending the Islands' right of self determination."

Prime Minister David Cameron will honour the people of the Falklands Islands during his annual Christmas message to them.

Three decades ago, UK forces stood with the islanders as they faced a direct and grave threat to their sovereignty

Prime Minister David Cameron

The Conservative leader will say: "Three decades ago, UK forces stood with the islanders as they faced a direct and grave threat to their sovereignty and it is absolutely right that we will be recognising this next year, when your islands will collectively receive the South Atlantic Medal."

Hong Kong's Next Exclusive Hideout Or The Worst Joke In Real Estate? See Six Future East Asian Islands At This New …

The 263 islands of Hong Kong are home to 7.2 million people. Thats 67,000 per square mile nearly three times more crowded than New York making Hong Kong one of the densest cities in the world. People seem to like the frenzy. (At least the average banker would rather live high atop Jardines Lookout than in the smog of Beijing.) So why not increase the population of Hong Kong by fifty percent? Thats the brilliant plan of the Chinese government.

With their combination of bureaucracy, corruption, incompetence and arrogance, governments are not always the wisest of urban planners. So visionary architects ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright to Le Corbusier to Archigram once made it their business to propose alternative futures. Though few of their plans were ever more than cyanotype dreams, their schemes challenged the status quo, helping people to envision what their society might become. The architect was a sort of public intellectual. It wasnt very profitable.

And in the age of the jetsetting starchitect, it isnt exactly fashionable. With the death of Lebbeus Woods in 2012, many urbanists eulogized that visionary planning was in foreclosure. The Museum of Modern Art has taken the opposite tack, engaging contemporary architects in civic thought experiments. Uneven Growth presents six such tactical urbanisms for megacities ranging from Hong Kong and New York to Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro.

How to handle the imminent influx of Hong Kong immigrants? Easy enough, according to the team of Hong Kong and New York architects assigned to the project. Just make more islands. For instance, theres the Island of Surplus, an unstable archipelago of abandoned detritus shaped by years of accretion that resembles prehistoric vestiges of an ignorant civilization. And then theres the Island of the Self, a dark and wet labyrinth built inside a supertanker, offering a secretive feast of drugs, adventure and sex.

In case the names dont make it obvious, the architects assert that each of their eight new islands draws on one of Hong Kongs characteristics, exaggerating it to an absurd extent. Underlying their elegant visual presentation is a satirical prankishness reminiscent of the robotic Walking City designed by Archigram in the 1960s.

Yet the humor that animates this vision of Hong Kong also delimits it. Except in the most inspired of visions, satire is inherently reactionary. (On the other hand, schemes offered in utter sincerity such as Le Corbusiers towering 1925 Plan Voisin for Paris usually serve as inadvertent reminders of why architects should never be given absolute power.) Historically the most compelling urban visionaries have been those like Lebbeus Woods willing to risk ambiguity.
