Another day to go over to Puuhonua National Park. Only myself, and Jean and Kim are going. Adrienne is staying back at number 24, KKSRC to try some writing. Jean wants to snorkel at 2-step beach. This is just outside the regular National Park. There are many swimmers and snorkelers there in what I seem to believe some native Hawaii people as well.
I go walking around a bit to see the sites. The sacred site which is called Puuhonua O Honaunau has plenty of history to tell. The Ali'i were the leaders and they had very extra priviledges. They had heiau built for ceremonial purposes. The practice of kapu meant the regular Hawaiians were to obey a strict code. ( A type of religious oligarchy.)
Lunch was a picnic lunch looking over the ocean. We had seen dolphins swimming here 3 years ago but it was not to be this time.
Feb.12, Friday.......New Beach?
First walk was again at 7am. The usual over to the surfing beach and back. Oh yes, I now remember the beach by name Kahaluu Beach famous for snorkelling. In fact this is called the Keahou Kahaluu corridor just above Keahou Bay.
Walk number two I decide at 10am to scoot over to a neighbouring beach south of our digs. It turns out it was only 20 minutes one way. The walk takes you by a golf course and the roadway is set between two large resorts. And officially the beach I am going to is called a private beach. Therefore it is not on all the guide books. Nevertheless access to the waterfront cannot be denied. Individuals are parked all over the place to go into the water. But it is not too busy.
I only convince Jean and Kim to try the new swimming beach. I find it pretty easy. The water is a bit shallow but snorkelling is very easy going. Jean did not like it.
Pool at about 3pm. Adrienne cooks a great dinner with all vegies in the fridge. And leftover chicken, calamari and half of a jar of mango-orange salsa. Good combinations. The wine is a Alamos Malbec.
