22. Aloha from Hawaii

Max surprised me last Wednesday night by announcing (with the aide of a doctored fortune cookie) that we were going to Hawaii early the next day! It was the last of my birthday presents, a complete surprise and a real treat. Max had booked the flights and our wonderful friend Margie had given us the keys to her beach house and truck on the Big Island.

We did some hiking, lazed a little on various world-renowned beaches, snorkelled with masses of turtles and saw a humpback whale every time we looked at the ocean. Max made us eat spam and eggs - the Hawaiian 'delicacy' - every morning for breakfast.

We didn't take as many photos as we should have, but here's a few to give you a taste of what we got up to.

Erm... a sunset





Waipi'o Valley -
a long walk down and even longer walk back up!
