Yesterday we were in the car park about to get in the Mustang when we realised that a whale watching boat was stopped right in front of us. The next thing we knew, two massive whales surfaced right near the shore directly in front of us, we couldn't believe how close to the shore they were they must have been almost scraping their bellies on the rocks. We headed to a nearby beach and rented a couple of stand up paddle boards. They were massive and heavy and re...

Today was another amazing day of marine life spotting. We got up and went for a walk and had yet another average coffee, only thing in looking forward to back in Melbourne is a good coffee! We watched a snorkeling trip come back from a trip where the ambulance had met then and were giving someone CPR in the back of the ambulance which was pretty awful for all the people on the trip. We met up with Rod and Gill at our hotel and walked back to the boat ramp to j...

Today we got up quite early and set off to do the scenic drive to Hana. We put the top down straight away, but had to put the heater on as the sun hadn't started shining yet. We stopped for a quick coffee in Pa'ia and then motored to the start of the scenic part of the hwy.

When we first got in I couldn't see any turtles, then I realized they were on the bottom, tucked between rocks and coral sleeping. Some of them were so massive t...

Today we set our alarm to wake up early as we had overheard some Yankee tourists saying daylight savings started overnight, but we found out that Hawaii doesn't change their time so we watched some tv and got brekky before driving to the airport and flying to Maui. We picked up our convertible at Maui airport and cruised to the old town of lahaina which was full of shops and restaurants all in the old buildings so it was really quaint. After some lunch and shop...
