Diamond Head and Hamauna Bay

Headline: Man Saves Bee.  The bumblebees are enormous here, like hummingbirds without the beak.  But, from our balcony,soft-hearted Doug saw one struggling in the pool and he risked life & limb, not to mention possible anaphylactic (sp?) reaction , by rescuing it.
This morning, we (Doug, Cam & I) got up early and took a cab to the trail head and hiked up to Diamond Head.  Phew!  220 steps plus long, steep trail in heat.  But worth the view.  A fellow hiker said she admired me for doing the hike.  I wondered why she singled me out as worthy of admiration and now realize that it was because of .my Nordic Poles (non-existent in Hawaii).  Disabled again!
Doug and I grabbed a quick bite at Subway and carried on, by bus, to Hanauma Bay to snorkel and spot the amazing, glorious assortment of tropical fish.  This is a huge amount of fun and worth the long ride and rude bus driver.  We saw parrot-fish, tang and many more that memory does not serve.  Like being in Finding Nemo.

  1. I like Doug's Hawaiian shirt. Have you bought yourself the matching dress?
    Where's your hat?

  2. Yeah! You found your way into the blog. I am actually wearing a hat, but the wind is so strong that it keeps blowing off. I am NOT going to spring for a new one since I will be home in a couple of days
