Driving down Likelike. Through the mountains and past the oceanview. The Jurassic Park mountains are on our left.
Stopped at a drug store for a few things and then was quickly at La'ie point. Magical, peaceful, surreal, and beautiful. We watched a guy jump off a rock. I've been told it's the rock they jumped off in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The rock was jagged and full of holes. It was filled with depressions that look like they get filled at high tide. There were rays swimming off to one side of the rock.
After a couple of wrong turns we made it to the Malaekahona beach. It was fairly deserted. We dropped our stuff at a shady spot and waded across the water to Goat Island. It was a challenging wade, but worth it. The island is a bird sanctuary and we walked around the perimeter. Amazing scenery. We waded back and played in the waves for a while, then laid in the sand to dry off.
We popped into the bathroom to clean our feet - 2 of 3 stalls didn't have doors! I don't get it. Neither did the showers.
On the drive back we stoped at an excellent taco place. Yummmmm. I had shredded beef tacos and ginger lemonade. Never heard of that before - now I need to learn to make it.
Then we stopped at a little store called Fine Ass Coffee, Chocolate, and Gifts. The packages look very nice, but the names have the implication of scandal. Also, there was a big inflatable thingy out front with a ball in its hand and a sign that said "We have donkey balls!"
And I saw a wild boar on the side of the road. It was little, black, and had a mohawk. So cute. Also, there are many chickens just wandering around.
The mountains are pointy and wrinkly and sharp looking, and are also very tall. The tops were wreathed in fog as we drove home.
We are wiped out. We were planning to go the the fireworks display tonight, but none of us had the energy to get up and out. Nicely, someone is bringing us food. Gyro and fries.
Yum.
