Island Adventures

The closest I got to sewing in the holidays was buying a cushion someone else sewed.


But I did have an island adventure that included taking every opportunity to point out the '5-O' (just like on TV),


visiting the aquarium,


watching filming of Hawaii 5-O at the hotel across the road (we only saw the extras),


following a 'combat wounded veteran',


seeing the green mountains, 


taking a bus trip through a macadamia farm,


learning a bit of fire dancing,


taking a boat trip on a giant fish pond in a tropical downpour,


learning more about growing pineapples,


subtly taking a photo of a dog in a pushchair while in a shop,


waiting for buses,


shopping for moonshine at Walmart (kidding),


cooking up farmers' market apple-bananas to go with our pancakes and ice-cream,


eating quite a few of my favourite biscuits,


seeing a few hula shows,


and these $700 shoes!


And annoyingly, eating breakfast on the lanai every morning with this view.


Now it's back to reality and perhaps some sewing this weekend.
