WELL, IT’S GETTING REAL NOW : TOMORROW IS OUR LAST FULL DAY HERE.
IT WAS ‘PICTURE PERFECT’ ON THE BEACH TODAY BUT THE MASSIVE WAVES HAD ME THINKING ABOUT OUR ONE BOOKED EXCURSION : A DINNER CRUISE. WOULD IT BE SO ROUGH THAT THE MEAL WOULD MAKE US FEEL ILL ? I DECIDED NOT TO WORRY AND JUST ENJOY THE SUN AND A SOUND I LOVE…. CRASHING WAVES.
I HAVE READ A FEW BOOKS HERE AND SO HAS TERRY. IF YOU LIKE MYSTERIES I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND ” SOMETHING IN THE WATER ” BY CATHERINE STEADMAN. WOAH. IT IS A STRESSFUL ( BUT FUN!) PAGE TURNER.
AFTER OUR DAILY WORKOUTS WE MET ON THE LITTLE BEACH NEAR THE POOL . IT WAS SO HOT TODAY THAT WE WANTED TO SET UP IN THE SHADE OF THE BIG TREES ON THAT SIDE. WE ATE THE LAST OF OUR ‘BAR FRIDGE’ FOOD FOR LUNCH AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT ..IT WAS TIME TO GET READY FOR THE SHIP.
WE WERE FEELING VERY LUCKY TO HAVE GRABBED A GREAT SEAT IN THE BOAT . MOST OF THE GUESTS WANTED TO SIT UP TOP ON THE SHIP BUT THE SUN WAS BEATING DOWN ON THEM FOR SURE AND WE HAD AN ACTUAL TABLE ON WHICH TO ENJOY OUR DINNER.
WE SAT WITH SUSAN AND TOD FROM NORTH CAROLINA, VERY NICE FOLKS WHO ARE DATING . ( THEY RECONNECTED ON FACEBOOK. ALTHOUGH THEY WEREN’T IN THE SAME GRADE IN HIGH SCHOOL…THIS WAS THE CONNECTION).
WE HAD FUN GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER . I THOUGHT THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD. THERE WERE HEALTHY SNACKS TO GET US GOING ( VEGGIES, HUMOUS, FRESH GUACAMOLE , TORTILLA CRISPS, ETC.) AND WE EACH RECEIVED ONE DRINK TICKET. TERRY PICKED OUT SOMETHING FOR ME CALLED A ‘LAVA FLOW’ . YUM.
DINNER INCLUDED FRESH ROLLS, 2 KINDS OF SALADS, A PORK DISH, BARBEQUED CHICKEN AND MORE… IT WAS TASTY. AND THE OCEAN CALMED DOWN SO THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A VERY SMOOTH RIDE. PHEW.
WE HAD LIVE MUSIC IN BETWEEN OUR TOUR GUIDE TALK . SHE GAVE US THE HISTORY OF KONA AS WE TRAVELLED ALONG UNTIL WE GOT TO THE CAPTAIN COOK MONUMENT. I LEARNED QUITE A BIT ABOUT OUR SURROUNDINGS AND OUR MUSICIAN WAS A TALENTED GUY WHO HAD A GREAT BACK UP SOUND SYSTEM.
GOD PROVIDED US WITH A GORGEOUS SUNSET TO FINISH OFF THE CRUISE TOO.
