Anini Beach--Snorkeling for Turtles




Ahhhhhh--Anini Beach once again!

Beach photographer--just can't stop taking photos, even while lying down!

 After a leisurely breakfast at the condo, Anini Beach was our destination for another (our last?) day of snorkeling for Raymond, Deon, and me.  Bob supervised from his beach chair.
We usually see large sea turtles at this beach and that is what we were looking for today. They like to eat the sea grass on the bottom and don't seem to be a bit bothered by the human activity up above.  The water was unusually calm and clear--but I needed my floatie today....  I followed 2 turtles around for awhile--was soooo neat!  Deon shared a photo from her underwater camera.  This little guy(?) is about 3 feet long.

 We bid farewell to Anini Beach (sigh), headed to the condo to wash off the beach sand and went to Tahiti Nui's in Hanalei for a wonderful meal--looking out over the mountains, feeling the cool breezes, and listening to 2 guys playing slack key guitar.  Tahiti Nui's  is an old restaurant/shack where George Clooney liked to hang out when he was staying here and filming his latest movie, The Descendants.  I was probably sitting in his chair!    
     On the way home, we stopped at the pier at Hanalei Bay to watch the sunset-----another wonderful day in paradise!

  1. Sounds and looks like you had a wonderful month of vacation. Now you will have to spend a month of R & R at home to rest up! Better plan on spending a lot of time reviewing your photos or you will rue your return to Winter Wonderland.
