Well, we have begun are trip to the down under. A stop on O’ahu for a week has gotten us on the right path. Tans have begun. The liver is cranking up and we are slowly adapting to the time changes.
We stayed in Waikīkī which turned out to probably be a mistake. I thought we would partake in some of the nightlife downtown but that was really never the case. One we never could find good local musicians playing in a club or bar and two we were just too tired to stay up! We traveled to all corners of O’ahu in our car but always paid the price coming back into town with bumper to bumper traffic. We are just not used to this congestion in Hawaii.
We have had great weather during our stay. We found some great beaches on the Kailua side as well as North shore and Yesterday on the west shore at electric beach. Some of the best snorkeling has been off shore from an electric power plant. Quite a few eels and turtles mixed in with a good variety of tropical fish. A group of some 3o spinner dolphins were playing just off the beach on and off for the afternoon. We’ve managed a few minor hikes but not nearly as much as planned. TheBeach just kept calling.
Today we are saying goodbye to Hawaii. Tomorrow we say hello to New Zealand
