Cruising in Paradise Day2-3

As we left the Hawaiian Islands last night, heading south for our 2,000 mile journey to Bora Bora, my last image was that of Mt. Kilauea and the lava flow glowing in the night as it reached for the ocean.

The last two days were spent in Lahina, Maui and in Hilo on the big island of Hawaii.

In Maui it was necessary to take a tender as we anchored off shore.  Plans were to rent a car, however that didn’t happen so shopping, gallery hopping, and lunch were in order.  Being from Idaho a highlight was a visit to a Pub that was all about Moose except for the beer.  They had never heard about Moose Drool.

In Hilo we took a free bus to the downtown area where we attended a Chinese New Year Celebration and Festival, open air farmers market with gorgeous $8 orchids, and little shops with Hawaiian arts and crafts.

Both days were beautiful, so after our visits on shore, we spent as much time as we could around the pool soaking up the incredible Hawaiian sunshine.  Now that’s paradise!
