Hawaii - Day 2 - Saturday April 20, 2013 - Snorkelling

We woke up really early with body clocks totally out of whack. We had a big breakfast and headed off on our snorkelling adventure.


We were encouraged to buy beer so the boys obliged. Here they are with their friend, Mr Budweiser


Our first stop was to watch for a pod of bottle nose dolphins; we found them and watched them for a while. They surfed in the wake of the boat when we sped away. Then we had three different snorkel stops and saw turtles, lots of fish, eel and two eagle rays. We bought some fish food and I hired a wetsuit in an attempt to keep warm in the cold water. At one stage I saw Gibbo swimming away, letting a stream of fish food out of his container, followed by about two hundred fish swimming furiously and madly behind him. All I could see were fins, bubbles and fish. The coral looked quite drab and colourless; not like the beauty that we saw in Vanuatu.




That night our group of 8 had drinks in our room again (the view is better from up here) and ordered pizza.
