Polynesian Shores Lahaina

Today is Sunday and we came on the ship yesterday. We are really being lazy.
After boarding the ship we started wandering around the ship. We came upon a group of people just leaving a room and we jumped into the group to take the restaurant tour and we were glad we did. Later in the day we went aback ...

... in den schatten! Tschungel, wasserfälle, flüsse mit naturbecken die zum reinspringen und schwimmen einladen, gewaltige klippen und mitten drin eine strasse wie in den berg gemeisselt.


Als wir auf einer brücke anhielten, hörten wir ganz in der nähe ein geräusch, welches uns von den sprungbecken in unseren badis bekannt vorkam. Ich machte mich auf, dies zu prüfen doch da war ein holzzaun mit dem hinweis 'private property'. Im ...

... die Wolken zu kommen, einen tollen sonnigen Tagesabschluss zu haben und einen letzten wunderschoenen Sonnenuntergang auf Maui zu sehen.

Der letzte Abend endet mit Pizza und einem UNGLAUBLICH leckeren New York Cheesecake (mit Oreo-Boden!!!).

Am Abend dann der Abschied von den Banana-Bungalow-Freunden bei einer letzten geselligen Runde im Garten, denn wir muessen schon um 7 Uhr am Airport sein.

Das war Maui......

Aloha Hawaii!!!!!!!

... ducks. At this point, we all decided it was time to snorkel, so we headed south to Ulua Beach, where we snorkeled and saw a manta ray! We were all in the water together and had seen some puffer fish, a sea turtle and lots of cool coral. Just as we decided to head back, Mike saw a manta ray 15 feet below us. We took pictures and enjoyed the amazing sight of a manta ray in the wild (how many people get to see that?). Then, it started heading up towards Jon and I and we freaked ...

... spraying all over and small glimpses of their bodies sailing through the water. We got a few pictures but you can not see many details. After the sun went down we went swimming and relaxed in the hot tub. Our pool area is really nice. We would recommend this place for anyone. We planned out tomorrow's activities and now it is bed time!

... out, chilling, floating Stoge: Cigarette Grind: eating, munching Another thing to understand is the mashaka sign which is basically the local way of saying, "Whats up man!" its a respect sign. You'll see it on shirts and stickers all around the Islands. *Like a 'Rock On' sign up instead of the index finger ...

... apparently, there are crabs all over the rocks...we know this because we came across several crab shells...and even one entire crab (albeit, a dead entire crab!). The colors on this hike were awesome. The rock was sprinkled with red, orange, yellow and golds...and the water was every shade of blue. We hope you all enjoy our pictures! Tomorrow we are off to Kauai...and are on the hunt for good snorkeling!

... of the first dive! I was ****** - he thought he could fool us by driving around for an hour before returning to the same spot.. We didn't get to go to any of the sites we signed up for. We didn't even bother getting in the water the second time. When they called everyone back in they said one of their other boats had spotted whales in the area so we headed towards them ...

... 10-year-old who was carrying a TV. (It was in a trolley, so don't feel too sorry for her). She just wouldn't shut up. And every other word she said was 'yeah'. She actually lived with her mum in Waikiki and appeared to be transporting a TV back that she had apparently got after exchanging a smaller one, which 'wasn't big enough'. So after about half an hour with this child waiting for a bloody bus I decided that I definitely prefer mute children. I wished I could get this child to shut ...

... had missed the foods we had become accustomed to and loved. Our favorite recommendations for you when on Maui are: The SmokeHouse in Lahaina - Joe's Corn Bread w/ Macadamia Honey Butter is "Ono" (Delicious) Wei Wei in Wailuku - Their Chicken Katsu & House Cake Noodle is yummy. Alexander's in Kihei - Fish to die for ! Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina - The Shoyu Chicken, Kalbi Ribs, Teriyaki & Mahi plate is very good !
