Hawaii: Part 7

Day 12:  Today we spent the day with Amy and Lorrin on the North Shore.  We started on our adventure in Halewa.  We toured the cute touristy shops and enjoyed shave ice at Matsumoto's.




Then we went to Amy entitled "Turtle Beach" to see the Sea Turtles! There were so many of them, and they were so exciting to watch.  We counted at least 10 of them swimming in the waters right in front of us. Dude...Totally...



After Turtle Beach, we continued down to Shark's Cove and met up with some of with some of Lorrin and Amy's friends who knew the area and knew of a great place to snorkel and cave dive.  I didn't snorkel and cave dive, but I did hike out to the cave and get in the water to see the underwater tunnel.  Brian said it was a pretty crazy experience though.  He had to hold his breath in complete darkness a lot longer than he had originally thought.









We were still on a roll, so we went back to Waimea Bay to jump off the rock and enjoy the beach while the sun was still out.  Crazy Brian dove off the rock.  Amy and I just jumped.  Look at that beautiful sandy water!


To finish off the night, we enjoyed some BBQ ribs with some of Amy and Lorrin's young married friends, and I topped it all off with Ted's Haupia Pie.  Yum!  Nights like this one make me want to live on a tropical island paradise forever.  Simply breaktaking...
