Rainbow Surf Hostel Paia

... the same room and there they were all again. It was a group of about 40 people and they were about to take a bar tour. So we jumped in. The lady leading the group clanged a bell and everyone would yell BAR TOUR! Of course people thought we were crazy as we went around the ship yelling BAR TOUR. It was fun ...

... 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 ...

... dann sitzend-paddeln um. Klappt ja alles ganz wunderbar, wenn das Wasser ruhig ist, aber hier hats ordentlich Wind und Wellen und ich lande mehr als einmal im Wasser! Ist aber natuerlich gerade deswegen saulustig und macht Spass, einfach ein bisschen Gefuehl dafuer zu bekommen.

Nach einer Stunde kommen wir ziemlich geschafft wieder zurueck und ueberlegen, ob wir noch nach Big Beach/Little Beach fahren, aber nach einem ausgiebigen leckeren Mittagessen ...

Late again. ... I know. I've been so busy doing nothing I forgot to blog about our day. We spent the entire afternoon on Kaanapali Beach. Huge with really hot sand. I wanted to go back again to see if I could find the turtle I was swimming with. He was a no show.

We decided to go to Lahaina (main town) and try a local ...

... This was a very impressive aquarium with good displays and a glass tunnel through the main tank which was full of sharks, rays and barracuda. Altogether a good tour and well worth it. Dinner was taken in the excellent help yourself buffet of Aloha Café after we set sail for the Big Island. That evening we watched a show with a pair of ageing rockers called Toby Beau in the Hollywood Theatre.

... Father Damien in the form of a statue in front of the Hawaiian state capitol in Honolulu. www.hawaiicatholicherald.com/Home/tabid /256/newsid884/669/Default.aspx. Over coffee in Haiku, we finally came to the realization what an extraordinary New Year's Day 2008 had been. The phrase "life time" memory was certainly on our lips. It was more spectacular than words can describe. Coming Soon: Maui and the Southern Beaches

... two's?) Gwen's defense was she thought Beth was "right behind her" This is where the absorption comes into play, when Gwen flew past the Kula Lodge Beth thought she was stopping at the store but when she also flew by the store Beth decided to stop. She remembered "something" about having macadamia pancakes at the Kula Lodge so when we hadn't showed up yet, back up the road she went to have breakfast (she was hungry) Unknown to us she parked her bike down by the gift shop ...

... go to the next place we were offered a lift in a stretch limo for $5 each. It was already full but he squeezed us in. Only snag was we had to get out early so he wouldn't arrive overloaded. Had a nice swim and snorkel (after watching the compulsory video telling you how not to damage the reef). 29/4 R has hired a board and gone surfing. Big event today is the Spam festival tonight. More to come on that.

... nii kõvasti, et veeststarti ei saanud teha. Lõpuks õnnestus rahulikumal hetkel kaldale sõuda. Rohkem ma katseid ei teinud. Liiga vähe kogemusi veel, aga linnukese sain kirja. Viimane päev algas Kanahal 4,2 purjega ja seda oli parasjagu. Merele välja sõites oleksin äärepealt otsa kihutanud suurtele kilpkonnadele, aga õnneks sukeldusid nad enne. Neid ei osanud kuidagi oodata. Edaspidi juba olin tähelepanelikum ja teadsin, kuidas neid märgata ...
