Relaxing in Hawaii

After a flying visit to Australia, seeing our Mum's, Dad's, sisters, aunties, Nanna and our friends we flew out to Hawaii.  We waited at the outdoor car rental stand at Honolulu airport and the consultant kindly told us that the car we booked would not fit all of our luggage!  As other travellers drove off in their Mustangs we drove off in our white Toyota Tarago van.  A short drive around Honolulu made us glad that the house we rented was on the North Shore and out of the hustle and bustle of the city.  It took us about an hour to get to the North Shore and we were over the moon with the house we chose on the Internet.

Our backyard was the beach

Within minutes of walking in, Steve was walking on the beach and calling us to look at the Green Turtles feeding on the weed on the rocks.  Taylor even fed the turtles on our first swim, until we read that this was not a good idea.

We had a truly relaxing time in Hawaii.  The nearby historical town of Haleiwa was wonderful and had all we could ever need.  We did our grocery shopping at the Farmer's market on Sunday and ate out once a day at all sorts of small restaurants in Haleiwa which was also good for a bit of clothes and souvenir shopping.
