Driving
In order to make a bit of money from the tourists the government have decided that you have to have a Cook Islands driving licence to drive here (International Driving permit not accepted either). All you do is show them your UK licence, have your mug shot taken and hand over your 10 New Zealand dollars (the local currency).If you want to drive a scooter it’s even more entertaining, because if your licence doesn’t specifically mention bikes you have to take a ‘test’. It appears that it is virtually impossible to fail test, which seems to take about 5 minutes and entails driving up and down a straight road without falling off or getting lost!
