Last days of our holiday

On Sunday we took a drive up to Haleakala Crater which was about a two and a half hour drive. We drove up through the clouds, elevation 10,000 feet, and when we reached the top we were above the clouds.

There was a partial eclipse of the sun which we were able to see through telescopes that a group had set up there. Have also taken a couple of photos of the sun.

On our way back we went to the Maui Tropical Plantation and they drove us around in a little train drawn by a tractor (no train tracks).

Monday we just lazed around, had a swim in the morning and then after lunch we went snorkeling and then dinner at Basil Tomatoes. Louise if you are reading this, I had Pasta Primavera and the whole top of the pasta was covered in vegetables as in broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, mushrooms and peppers.

It is Tuesday today, not sure what we are going to do but it won't be much. We leave tomorrow morning and arrive home very late Thursday night. We gained a day on the way over but lose it on the way home, I dare say that makes us square.

Pasta Primavera, this is not how it arrived I had already started eating.




A walk along the beach before our swim



My tattoo that I had done at the conference, supposed to disappear in a week, still there.



See you all soon
