Hawaii Day Three


Well, back to our trip. I'll try to do it with less pictures. If you want to see A LOT of pictures, you can go to my facebook album here.
Wednesday we set out for the Maui Ocean Center, an aquarium not far away. It was nice and we got to see turtles, including baby ones, sharks, and lots of fish. Not as impressive as the Sydney Aquarium, but nice in it's own way. We got a snack and then hit the road, driving through west Maui, past Kanapali Beach, where we stayed on our honeymoon 32 years ago. Things have definitely changed and there are tons of hotels and condos and people everywhere. We stopped for some lunch in Kapalua and then went to Slaughterhouse Beach, a nice small, quiet beach, where Nate swam in the water and the rest of us enjoyed the view. We drove by Honolua Bay and watched the surfers some and then around to the Nakalele Blowhole. We continued on Highway 34 around the north end of west Maui. The road got narrower and narrower and curvy and frequently one lane. We bought some banana bread, a coconut, and some pineapple from roadside vendors. We finally made it back to civilized roads and then back to our condo. We fixed dinner, relaxed, swam and walked on the beach.
