Snorkelling piccies
I've attached some piccies from my snorkelling trips on the Big Island and here on Maui. The ones with the turtles in them are from the Big Island and the others are from Maui (I think).
I went on a snorkelling trip yesterday with a guy I met at the hostel I'm staying at. It was supposed to be to a tiny little crater island called Molokini and to Lanai (a nearby larger island) but the weather came in from the wrong direction and we went to Lanai (no pics from there) and a place called Coconut bay (I forget the Hawaiian name). The fish were great at both places, and we saw loads of whales along the way. I'm heading out on a whalewatching trip on Wednesday so should have some great pics from that soon.
I've been over to Hana on the eastern side of the island today. It's a 30-odd mile trip, but it's along a twisting winding road along the coast and took 2hrs plus each way. 15mph average speed! It's been a long day - driving seems to really take it out of me.
Tomorrow is my bike trip up Haleakala (10,000 ft) and I will put money down that it rains. The rain seems to be following me at the moment. It caught me big time on Kauai and has followed me here. It *will* hold off on Thursday so I can get some beach time!
Anyway, hope you enjoy the piccies,
