After long days we like to have close to the condo days afterwards. It was nice to read e-mail, Maggie's blog, the The Toronto Star online and watch TV in the morning. We set out just before lunch to pick up some souvenirs and have lunch at Lava Java's on Alii Drive. We ate salads, soup and sandwiches while watching the people and the beautiful ocean.
We picked up some rental snorkeling gear and headed out to Kahuluu Beach in the late afternoon. According to the travel guide, this beach on Alii Drive has a salt and pepper beach and great snorkeling. The guide neglected to mention that to access the snorkeling area you have to walk over lava rocks in the surf while wearing snorkel gear. Do you realize how difficult it is to walk in fins and how hard it is to put fins on while waves crash down on you?
Marilyn has wounds on both knees and Dwight has a wound on his left thumb as mementos of thi snorkeling experience. Once we got over the rocky start (pardon the pun) the views of fish and green sea turtles was worth it. A green sea turtle was one foot away from Dwight. We will look for beaches that have easy access and exit for Saturday's snorkeling..
We had a steak dinner at the condo and watched a fabulous sunset. (No pictures, sorry) After a Hagan Das ice cream stick it was a quiet evening. The only sound was Dwight snoring on the couch.
