Beach day....what a surprise. We started at Puako so Mary could do some more shell searching ( after a quick stop at Snorkel Bob's...still hopeful), but the waters were stormy again and no shells were to be found. So after a bit we headed over to Hapuna beach so I could get some boogie boarding in. I actually got a couple of good rides for me.
After beach time we were so close to Kawaihae that Happy Hour at the Seafood Bar beckoned one more time. This time we tried the calamari along with our usual additions....$4 margarita and $5 Mai Tais. We were visted by a friendly gecko who got drunk from licking the cherry stem from Mary's drink. He stayed with us the whole meal and then staggered home.
We went to A-Bay for another sunset....I keep trying to get the palm tree reflections in the fish pond but no luck. But you never get tired of sunsets. Mary got talking(surprise!) to a German guy and his wife who have lived in Portland for the past 5 years and they are now moving back to Burghausen, Germany. He ended up inviting us to visit them and they would go with us to the beer rest in Rosenheim.
After the sunset we made our way to the Queen's Marketplace for Asian Fest. This included food sampling, Taiko Drumming and a Lion Dance through the market place. We were lucky to get an early Chinese New Year celebration. Mary made sure to collect a number of lucky money envelopes that they were handing out. She even fed one to a lion.
