No, I don’t mean my husband. We headed back to Kahalu’u Beach Park and arrived earlier this time at about 8.50am. No problem getting a park or a spot under the shade today! I got chatting to a couple that were probably in their 70s. They were well set up with their beach chairs under the shade of one of the only trees. They were from San Diego, had been to Australia and NZ a couple of times, with NZ being one of their favourite places in the world. I would have chatted to them for longer they were a lovely couple but someone was getting impatient to get in the water.
As soon as we hopped in and before we had even put our fins on we came across a turtle, in the shallows, probably only a couple of feet deep. Today was a bit more of a workout than our previous visit as it was high tide. Our earlier start did however mean a lot less people in the water (although by the time we got out a couple of hours later there was peak traffic in the water!).
Once again lots of pretty fish, Q managed to spot an octopus but he disappeared before he could even say “calamari”, and I saw the cutest little fish ever. Luckily Quentin managed to get lots of photos of it.
After our swim we were starving and headed off to Patz Pies for Pizza. It was new york style pizza, huge in size, lovely thin crust, really yummy. Really interesting restaurant, quite young staff except for the owner who was a bit of a card. He was on the phone to his mum while we were there, having quite a loud personal conversation about business. Then he came to chat to us about the talk with his mum and how she had made eggplant parmigiana for her neighbour who had broken her wrist. The place had a great vibe and at the tables they had a whole lot of trivial pursuit cards so Q and I sat there asking each other questions. Says it all about our relationship, he chose Science and Nature, I choose Entertainment!
Then back to the resort (about an hour drive) for icecream. I had kept looking at these mochi icecream ball thingys and decided I wanted to try them. They were icecream inside a sticky rice coating. The smallest portion was 3 balls, so I got white chocolate with raspberry, cantaloupe, and passionfruit. It is fair to say the ice-cream inside was really yummy, I could give or take the coating. Q had a dragon fruit sorbet which was really yummy.
Lazy afternoon by the pool. This is the first opportunity I have had to sit and relax by the pool. Probably because it is the first day there were a few clouds and a bit of a breeze so the sun wasn’t as burning hot as it has been!
Lazy night, with left over pizza for dinner. *sigh* Life is good.
