Day 7 Feb 3, 2011

The day started with a clear sunny morning and no wind. What a nice way to greet the day. We had no plans for the day and we set out to snorkel somewhere in the North of the island. We drove to the site we thought we had been to before but approached it from an entirely new direction and decided this was in fact the spot. It was a bit confusing but we found it and went snorkelling off the rocky beach. We saw some beautiful fish over the reef but it just wasn’t what we had remembered and there were very few fish there. I recall it being quite clear and plentiful but that was not the case. We rested for a while and sat in the sun to dry our selves off before we set out on the famous drive around the North point. That was an adventure as a good deal of it is one lane and there definitely are vehicles going both ways. It was fun to see it in the sunlight as the last time we drove that route it was pouring rain. We stopped along the way to to enjoy a little lunch snack Freddi had prepared and enjoy the views, wind and the sun.

We returned to Kamaole for a brief relax and Freddi snorkelled out there too. She concluded that there were more fish at our local beach than up the north side near Honolua Bay. I read and contacted Lucy and Tara-Lee to cement our arrangements for the next day.

We drive to Wailea for dinner at Lohghi’s and enjoyed a fine dinner and entertainment from the Chinese community as they had a ceremony to bring in the New Year. Brian, our waiter, was from Oregon and was quite the comedian as he shared his views of the tourists, the Chinese event and some stories of the area. I had Filet and lobster and Freddi had a filet of beef. We enjoyed a fine bottle of Tuscan wine that complimented the dinner very well. A short drive home, some ice cream and the end of an easy but fine day.
