recently co-hosted two quiz nights in London with Air New Zealand and Santa Monica Tourism. Both evenings had a Cook Islands theme complete with fabulous Polynesian food and drinks. To add to the fun, a troupe of Cook Islands’ dancers gave a colourful performance during each evening.

How many Cooks make a great evening?
One evening was for Flight Centre staff who had no fewer than nine teams participating in the quiz. The second evening saw participating teams from Trailfi nders, Cox & Kings, Original Travel and STA Travel battle it out for knowledge supremacy. The Cox & Kings team was the worthy winner of the night's team prize.
“The quiz nights had a great turn out and were a great opportunity for Air New Zealand to showcase their latest Safety in Paradise safety video, filmed on Aitutaki in the Cook Islands”
DID YOU KNOW?
The Cook Islands culture is moulded by its Polynesian heritage mixed with a European infl uence. It's a melange of magical mystical islands shrouded in legends of romance and piracy, escapades and hidden treasures, all of which have shaped the traditions and customs that give the Cook Islands people their own unique identity!
