I got up at 8 oclock this morning, to train myself for the 4 oclock start the next morning. I left Simon snoring in bed and went and got breakfast at the Big Kahuma downstairs. We then got ready to go to Pearl Harbour, we packed up ready to go and then decided at the last minute that as it was saturday it may be to busy and therefore perhaps it was a bad idea so decided to get changed and pack up again and head for Hanauma Bay. Apparently everyone raves about this place for the snorkling. We eventually set of for the bay and waited at the bus stop for nearly an hour, the time passes quickly cos its interesting to people watch. Hawaii is a lot like California in that they have a lot of tramps hanging around not asking for money but just wanting to sleep. So we had a tramp that was asleep wrapped around the rose bushes behind us. He eventually stirred and got up and went straight to nosy in the bin. I think they get money for recyling stuff out of the bins.
Hanauma Bay - This was a beautiful place it was a beach in a bay. To get in you had to pay $5 each and had to watch a video telling us that it was bad to touch the coral. The place was really really pretty and without the people there i would have felt like i was in 'lost' . The thing thats nice about hawaii is that its so green and hot at the same time.
Simon is gonna continue this day...
I'm continuing now :)
Anyway...we then came out of the feature presentation and went down the hill. There's a tram you can take up and down the hill. It's free to go down but a dollar to come back up, clever lot. Anyway we managed to set up and get some snorkeling gear hired. The place is gorgeous, the abundance and variety of fish that are in the sea there is staggering. Both Andrea and I saw turtles swimming in the sea and munching stuff off the reef...which is where my only gripe about the place is...
There's far too many people here. For every interesting fish/turtle there will be about 10 people crowding round underwater to look at it. Invariably there was always some idiot who wants to get so close with the camera that it scares the creature off and blocks every ones view.
The evening was pretty boring as we'd booked for an excursion to the Big Island the next day, very early the next day.
