My travel bud's birthday, she was woken with a cup of English Breakfast tea and freshly picked flowers. And what followed was a very lazy day, coffee and chocolate cake at Hawieva followed by a bit of afternoon snorkeling. The beach right opposite our digs is great for this. A bit tricky to get in with all the rocks but well worth it.
At sunset we fired up the bbq and along with fellow housemates we had a great feast. Andy and Patty, from Frisco, generously supplied and prepared all of the food! We also took the cork off a bottle of bubbly for the birthday girl.
Waimea Valley is significant in the history of Hawaii. The 1800 acre valley is a arboretum holding 5000 kinds of tropical plants, a waterfall and a resident peacock. We slowly wondered round here in the morning. The out of practice birthday girl feeling the effects of the bubbles from her big day!
The afternoon took us to Turtle Cove. A nice stretch of coastline that had been taken over by a very large golf resort. Alas I didn't have a round on the lovely looking Arnold Palmer course but the beach was perfect for an afternoon snooze after some high energy snorkeling! Another busy day in Hawaii!
