  • Girls day

    October 11, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Today the girls rented cars to go exploring while the boys had another golf day. We started at Ihop for a pancake breakfast. There was too many and they didn't all fit in my tummy. After some faffing about we left for shark Cove. At shark Cove we snorkelled and saw a turtle!! It swam straight towards me. We then went to a surfer town and looked around. We ate at the food trucks and I had a very yummy falafel sandwich. We then headed back for me to catch my flight. The airport experience was very smooth. We got our rental car and drove to our digs. Jamesy was a but grumpy because there was no dinner.Read more

  • Dive day!!!

    October 12, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Today I went diving!! I met at the dive shop with all the other divers. We hopped on the boat and headed to Lanai. On the way there was a big pod of spinner dolphins jumping out of the water. The first dive was really cool, it had a swim through and I saw some moneray eels peeping their heads out of the coral. I lost my dive buddies as they guzzled their oxygen too quickly. I had tooo many weights and got lost in all the conversions to the metric system. 2nd dive was through the 2nd cathedrals with lots of passage ways. I saw an octopus and black coral that looked like a chandelier. It was amazing.
    I then reunited with Jamesy and we went snorkelling at Black Beach. We pretended to be at the very fancy sheriton hotel. We saw no turtles but lots of fishies. Relaxed with Gordon ramsey.

  • Road to Hana

    October 13, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    On the road again we headed to Hana. We fuelled up in Paia and started on all the bends, bridges and beaches. Using a blog post for a guide and looking out for mile markers, we stopped at the twin falls and had a lovely swim in the cold water under the waterfall. We then went through a lava tube which was really cool. We made many stops at some cool beaches with lava formations. We saw the 3 bears and the painted trees. We supported the locals by buying pineapple bread, chocolate and smoothies. We then drove down what I thought was the forbidden road and turned back. By then we were exhausted. We drove back home and got some local Hawaiian cuisine to eat at a random beach.Read more

  • Last day for turtles

    October 14, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Last day 😞. We checked out and went to the beach. Seeing as James was yet to see a turtle, we got the insider scoop on where to find them. After snorkelling for 40minutes we found one!! It was an amputee and was missing the front fin. We then went to Napali Bay for some more snorkelling and found another turtle (with all its limbs).
    We then had a lovely last lunch in a resort where our sunburn was starting to show. We were very sticky getting to the airport.
