Day 2 in Paradise. Is it bad that I am already looking at flights to come back before I am only halfway through this trip??
Ok so the day starts off with Chris walking to the shops behind our hotel to get coffee. It’s taken two days but we have found our ‘coffee spot’. We like to start every morning off with a coffee on the lanai (balcony) and watch the world go by. In Oahu, we would watch the very early morning joggers & walkers out by the Lagoon and the daredevil surfers out past the reef. Here in Maui we just have the ocean in front of us. We sit and count how many whales pop up to say hello. Every morning there are at least 4! I think I’ll have to live a very long time to get a better setting to wake up to.
Mikayla & Jakob snooze in the mornings so we take advantage to get out and have some ‘no kids time’ (and exercise) by going for a walk. Today we walked to The Whalers Village which took us about 50mins each way. We stopped in at the Cane & Taro for an OJ and shared a bagel.
Once home we all headed out to Kahekili. What a lovely spot. We all snorkelled – first time for me and the kids! It was amazing – well once I stopped hyperventilating and realised I wasn’t going to die LOL. We saw heaps of colourful fish, coral, a sea snake and we thought we could hear whales!! The locals confirmed for us that we did indeed hear what they call ‘the whale songs’. It’s just incredible and so loud!
We are off on a Whale watching tour this morning. Weather looks perfect for us, no wind and another beautiful day.
Ta Ta for now x
