  • Lunch in Paia!

    August 15, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We found the cutest little cafe for lunch!
    Bellesurf is located in Paia, at the Eastern end of the Road to Hana.
    It’s both a cafe and a lounge, outside, decorated in pink.
    The food was delicious!
    We sampled the spinach, tomatoe, avocado and feta cheese crepe, the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel and a delicious açai bowl topped with bananas, shredded coconut and peanut butter!Read more

  • Hike on the Coastal Trail!

    August 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Awake early before the girls, I set out to hike the length of the Coastal Trail this morning.
    The views are stunning and I even had a huge beach all to myself!!!
    I took the girls to Kapalua Bay, the beginning of the trail, later on to enjoy the beach.Read more

  • The Shops at Wailea

    August 16, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    After lounging in the sun at the beach and by the pool we decided to go do some window shopping at The Shops at Wailea!
    Never mind that it took us over 1 hour and forty minutes to get there (Google Plan decided to send us the scenic route way and we were stuck in a 4 km traffic jam!!!) it was all worth it because we found a Honolulu Cookie store! Now the girls are addicted to those cookies which they ate every single day in Waikiki (they offer free samples… need I say more!!!).
    I was, again, right in my element! Why am I not in a spending mood though? Oh! Wait! I’m in Hawaii and this trip is close to costing me an arm and a leg!!! That’s why!!!
    We got sushi for dinner tonight again. How can we resist when the supermarket sushis taste better than anything we’ve had at home!!! When you add a 1.29$ pineapple to the grocery it’s all more than worth it!!!

  • Twin Falls!

    August 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    First cloudy and rainy day of our trip!
    No worries! We had planned to go on a little hike to see the Twin Falls!
    Admittedly it was hardly a hike by our standards. We still enjoyed the view and the dip in both bassins!
    We had homemade poke bowls and tuna wraps for lunch before heading to the beach for a few hours.
    It turned out to be a very nice day!

  • Dinner at The Plantation House!

    August 17, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    The girls and I treated ourselves to a very nice dinner at The Plantation House, the restaurant of the Kapalua Golf Course.
    We saw our very first rainbow on the way there and we still treated to a nice sunset.
    We feasted on lobster raviolis and maccademia nut crusted mahi mahi with coconut milk jasmin rice and grilled asparagus!

  • We chased the sun!!!

    August 18, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Up early this morning as Charlotte was diving at 7:30!
    She had an amazing dive! She saw 5 white tip reef sharks, at least 25 turtles and countless fish!
    After chilling by the pool and being chased twice by little showers we went to the Island Vibe Cafe for lunch and then set off for Whalers Village for more shopping!
    We improvised a little road trip by the ocean after that! It was sooo much fun and we got to chase the sun!!!

  • Baby Beach!

    August 18, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    There isn’t anything baby about this beach but the calm waves that brush the shore.
    It’s a nice stretch of beach with very calm waters.
    It was sunny there all afternoon so Charlotte and I let out our inner model vibes!Read more

  • Road to Hana!

    August 19, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Rainy day today!
    So we hopped in the Jeep and drove part of the Road to Hana, known as one of the most scenic drive in the USA!
    It’s a very narrow and windy road with many lookout points and even more curves!
    We started it in Paia and bought the most amazing lettuce wraps to have for lunch later on.
    We turned around at Auntie Sandy’s banana bread shack! Take one guess as to whether we indulged in the most delicious banana bread on Maui!!!!

  • Shave Ice!!!

    August 20, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    After spending all afternoon at the beach we finally had our first shave ice!
    Admittedly we didn’t understand what the hype was all about… until now!!!
    It is sooooo delicious!
    As was the Ube ice cream at the bottom of Charlotte’s shave ice!
    Ube is a bright purple vegetable, similar to a sweet potato, and it tastes amazingly good in desserts!

    We left Maui this afternoon.
    What an amazing trip filled with great discoveries, happy moments and food highlights (Juliette’s highlight was the cut up fresh fruits from ABC stores and Charlotte’s the pineapple shaped cookies from the Honolulu Cookie Company!!!).Read more
