Yellow Tang
Our time isn’t well adjusted yet so we were up at 6 am. We ate the bagel and muffin we had left from our plane flight yesterday, then walked from our condo to the ocean, about a 100 m walk. Unfortunately the barbeque which is listed isn’t what we’d hoped for. It’s a real charcoal briquette barbecue, rather than gas, so not too practical for regular cooking. We’ll have to do a lot more cooking in the condo than we wanted to.
We next went to the grocery store to stock up on a few staple supplies and food for a few days. The prices are high, quite a bit more than we would pay at home, but then they don’t really grow a lot of the food here so it has to be shipped in.
After lunch we went to Kahaluu Beach Park to snorkel. Last year when we were there it was always hard to find a parking spot. That wasn’t so today as there were quite a few vacant spots, the difference in being here a month later outside of the busiest season.
Peacock Flounder
As we walked in to the water we saw a sea turtle. There were many fish, including a couple that I haven’t seen here before — a moray eel and a peacock flounder.
It was warm today, almost 30 C, but it has cooled off this evening. It was especially nice after supper as we walked to the ocean, sat in the cool breeze and watched the sun set.
