Hawaii Day 10: Sunset
07.20.2017 - 07.20.2017
We got up earlier than yesterday, and went back to the blowhole area to make sure we got the chance to try Julia's banana bread. We made it to the stand in time. We also bought some mango candy, and we were very tempted by the passionfruit butter. One of the sellers gave Catherine this plumeria to wear in her hair (he also offered a plumeria lei for $5 but we weren't sure how we would get it home). It was a beautiful drive and a fun stop. And the bread is delicious!
We went boogie boarding at D.T. Fleming Beach in Kapalua. On the recommendation of Daniel's aunt and uncle who come here regularly, we also tried the "beach shack" affiliated with the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua. It was very good. Boogie boarding was fun, although it takes some time to get used to it, and the wind was pretty intense today just like yesterday.
After boogie boarding and lunch, we headed back to the room and then out again to snorkel. We snorkeled near the resort, a little bit to the south where there were beautiful reefs and we saw a great many new varieties of fish. Unfortunately we didn't have any way of taking pictures of them, but we saw some amazing things. After that, we decided to go back to the hotel for the sunset, and sit out on chairs overlooking the water.
One of Daniel's favorite pictures he's ever taken: a sailboat against the sunset.
Our last sunset in Hawaii, "until we meet again."
After sunset.
We went to dinner at Prison Street Pizza, which is in Lahaina and was very good. It was a relatively small restaurant, but the pizza was good and we tried a couple of Maui Brewing Company beers. We have had a wonderful time in Hawaii, and we hope to be able to come back soon.
