Turtle Snorkelling (part 7)





I guess this would mark the last of my Hawaii travel tales! Thanks for reading all this while!!

The eve of our departure was spent exploring Hanauma Bay.. It was such a beautiful day with the lovely sunshine as always!! I was feeling super duper sick.. and the medication didnt seem to work. B wanted me to just rest but I insisted on going cos it would be such a waste just to spend the entire day in the hotel.

So we went...and boy was I glad we did. Hanauma Bay was beautiful!! The views were picturesque!! But the water was kinda cold and I wished that I brought my wetsuit along..hehe although it was just snorkelling by the Bay. The Bay was super crowded with tons of tourists. So it was almost impossible to snorkel without running into another fellow snorkeller. After 'roaming' around aimlessly in the Bay for about 20 minutes and not able to spot the rare green Hawaiian turtles.. I gave up and decided to just lie on the beach. B continued to snorkel around for a while longer but gave up after that as well. So 2 beach-bums were just lying around the bay checking out other tourists.

We went back to the hotel thereafter and continued the rest of the afternoon lazing around the beach. Its so idyllic, hearing the rolling waves and gently rocking me to sleep. I fell fast asleep with a beach towel covering half my body for fear of getting sun-burnt. Whilst B was just glad to finish his book on Goldman Sachs..hard reading for a holiday..hehe.


We kinda ran out of places for dinner..so we decided to go to THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY. We had to wait close to an hour for a seat. Look what we did after we got bored of walking around...






(L-R): Me with the menu...too many choices available! I decided on the Weight Watchers Chicken Salad! B's steak with fries and onion rings..check out the fries and onion rings.. definitely more than the steak! Thats not a cup of coffee...its a huge cup of ESPRESSO..well thats the size you get in USA! Last pic..Key Lime Cheesecake..yumz yumz....
