... 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 ...

... augenblick kamen mir drei einheimische, triefend nass, entgegen und ich fragte sie ob dieses land ihnen gehöre. Der
älteste lachte und sagte nein aber wir können ungeniert auch im fluss baden gehen, da sei weit und breit niemand zu sehen. Es brauchte nicht viel überzeugungsarbeit und schon kletterten wir in unseren badeshorts und mit einem handtuch bewaffnet über den zaun. Hinter den bäumen sahen wir dann das paradisische naturbecken ...

... originate from these movements, movements such as the sea lapping, nets beiing thrown and fish being passed into baskets. We really enjoyed this and again found the culture and stories behind these tradtions to be immensly interesting and enjoyable.

That evening we had booked tickets to go and see Ulalena, a show, very much like a broadway show. The show was about the history of Hawaii, from the first settlers to the coming of the westerners and the plantations ...

... touch/try the products, pointing out all of the testers. Eric dug his fingers into a pot of grey goo. "This is unusual face scrub," he said, rubbing the glop between his fingers. Next thing I knew, he covered his entire face with a grey mask! The woman's eyes popped open.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed. Eric pointed out she she encouraged him to try to the products.
"Well, I guess I did. Most people test the ...

... pork) and rice vermicelli with chicken. I can eat this for at least 3 days straight. Kalbi ribs special was really good too. I wasn't wild about the fried noodles, teriyaki chicken (big chunks of breast meat never appeal to me). Café O' Lei - OK The plate lunch ($10) was God awful. It was a few chunks of char siu pork that was so fatty and dry in a bad ...

... island close to Maui, for some more beach time, snorkeling, tidepooling, stargazing, camping and light hiking. Laia'i is beautiul and the campsite very nice, with nicely maintained grounds, clean bathrooms, and beach showers. The snorkeling in the bay near our campsite was amazingly good considering the at times pretty heavy wave action, and the tidepools along the left edge of the bay contained tons of diabolical looking crabs, little mollusks ...

... valleys lying spread out below, with streams winding through them, and island groves of trees here and there, and huge lonely oaks scattered about and casting black blots of shade; and beyond the greens we saw the ranges of hills, blue with haze, stretching away in billowy perspective to the horizon...all the troubles could be forgotten when you see this view. We drove on and finally got to the top. There's a visitor's center and a huge parking lot - lots of ...

... ATVs. Story details later, very fun(ny) day. (see next post "Beth' Complete's Her Exciting Day"...gc) We then used the condo pool to teach Nancy to back float before our snorkeling expedition tomorrow, followed by a luau in the evening. We've managed to get all of us showered twice now with just 2 bathrooms, a true miracle. Dinner in tonight with laundry and domino's and cheesecake for desert.

... the North Shore where in winter they have the massive waves. Had a strange encounter when i arrived at the North Shore. Arrived to find two guys I was at Bristol Uni with staying in the same lodge (For you uni guys it was Dan (sciocology) and Luke (Law) from Hiatt Baker). Then met a girl I did geography with at Uni (Caroline). Really strange as out of a lodge of 9, 4 were all from Bristol in the same years, but was nice to see them! Today we are ...

... the view was amazing, you could see each end of the island. We stopped at some point because there was this area called echo. Why? Because you can hear your echo. That was really cool to scream and hear yourself back. It was not even 7.30. Time for breakfast! Good thing we knew this french bakery where we got some yummy croissants. Good way to start the day! I will never forget. Thanks Ryan.
