Tuesday we headed off to Kapalua Beach. What a gorgeous spot. We all went snorkelling and saw heaps of fish. No turtles though and I really don’t want to leave Maui without seeing one! Well truth be told I don’t want to leave for many reasons but I do hope I see one today as it’s our last full day *sniff*. The closed down three beaches up the coast due to an 11 foot Tiger Shark yesterday YIKES!
For lunch we headed off to Leodas Kitchen & Pie Shop (get ready as I’m going to shout) OMG IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD! I really loved the décor. You walk in and are greeted by a class cabinet filled with the most delicious looking pies! Chris & Jakob shared a burger and Mikayla and I shared the Chicken sandwich (we are finally learning that sharing is best otherwise we roll out of the eating places feeling ill!!!). Then it was pie time! We shared a large banana cream pie (amazing!) and a ‘hand held’ apple pie (we call them apple turnovers at home). Due to my terrible sweet tooth I also got a berry pie and apple crumble pie to take home. We had the berry that night for dessert with some vanilla ice cream and will probably finish off the apple crumble tonight! I want to go back before we leave but not sure if we will have time. So many pies so little time……
We spent the rest of the day lounging at the condo and had pizza for dinner. A serious detox is on the cards when we get home!!!!
Yesterday we spent the morning by the pool and then headed into Lahaina. We stopped at Bubba Gumps for lunch (kids love that place!) and then onto Ululani's for some more shaved ice (YUM). We took it across the road and sat on the bench seat and looked out to the water. Nice way to spend an afternoon!
We are headed to Dukes restaurant for dinner last night. It’s a 10min walk along the beach from our condo. We had a great dinner listening to the live music and again watching the sunset. There is a lot of ‘VOG’ (volcanic fog) coming over from the Big Island which is causing some spectacular sunsets. Although the local tell us it’s really bad for their respiratory system.
Last full day in Maui. We are all so sad, we have just loved it here. Chris and I got up this morning to have our usual coffee on the lanai and were greeted by whales VERY close to shore right in front of us. They had a teeny tiny baby with them, which must have just been born as it was only the size of a small dolphin. They all jumped out of the water for us……. Just amazing. It’s still as exciting as our first sighting when we arrived a week ago.
