Maui - Day Five

 Saturday was another laid back, no big agenda day. 

First up... Snorkeling at Olowalu Beach, right across the street from Leoda's Pie Shop and the farmer's market from our first day on Maui. 

It was a beautiful protected little beach. I loved that there were lots of families there with little kids playing and swimming. It was perfect for seeing fish with giant colorful corals and very little wave action..The only downside was that the water was a bit shallow and didn't leave much space for floating over the large coral. Definitely my favorite spot of the week! 

I also figured out my fins issue. I had grabbed a pair of kids' fins from the condo and gave them a try after another failed attempt at using the ones we bought at Costco. Much like my shoes, the kids' ones worked great! I guess grown-up ones are just too big for me... :/ 

After a bit of a scare of "losing" Chris, who had snorkeled to the far side of the spit, we were ready to go and get some lunch. So we went over to Leoda's. Apparently everyone else had the same idea. So we stopped at the convenience store next door and grabbed a drink and homemade butter mochi for a pre-lunch treat. Then we grabbed some food at the food trucks by the farm stand before heading back to clean up for some fancy shopping at Whaler's Villiage at Ka'anapali. 

We bought a few fun stickers and resisted buying a whole lot more. We also had a very tasty early dinner at MonkeyPod, along with some delicious fun cocktails...

Then it was back to the condo for a relaxing evening of games, tv and snacks...
