Hawaii- 29th ad 30th August, 2013

  
29th August
 
Not doing a lot today just walked over to Walmarts big department store in behind the Ala Moana centre as Des wanted us to get him something a whole $4.98 worth. Had a quick look around there brought a few things for the little ones and back to the unit for a couple of hours then down for a swim, so refreshing after walking in the heat.
 
  


So hot PT caught me putting my head in the deep freeze to try and cool down.



Wandered around down in front of the hotel and took a few shots. This one looking over the lagoon towards the ocean. Great place for the younger kids to swim.



Looking back over the lagoon to the Hilton on the right and our complex far left. This beach is groomed every morning. The boardwalk in the foreground runs right around the lagoon. They have done it really nicely.



This is our hotel looking back from the boat harbour. It is in the shape of a Y. The first five nights we are in the right hand side of the wing nearest to the camera. Tomorrow night is our last night then we move over to the left hand wing three levels down from the top 2nd in from the end.

30th August.
 
Another lazy day didn't leave the unit until after lunch. We then decided to go out to the bus company main office right out nearly to the airport to  obtain our senior card  so we can hop on and off the bus when ever. It is usually $2.50 per ride ( you only pay when you get on the bus and can then travel for as long as you like). For the senior card you pay $10.00 per month and pay $1.00  per ride or $10.00 plus $5.00 per month then all rides are no charge. that's the one we went for. The $10.00 card last for four years then you pay $5.00 per month for all the free rides. Have I confused you.......
After all that we now have our cards with no charge when we hop on the bus.
 
Bussed back to the hotel  at 5.00pm flopped down had a drink when out for a quick bite to eat to be back to our room to see another fireworks display from our balcony. Just amazing. We won't see these from our next unit.
 
We were going to Skype Joe tonight but had a text from Bev saying Joe wasn't up to it so not sure if it is just because he had a few visitors today or other reasons, Bev didn't say why.
 
Took no photos today not a lot to write about two quiet days and tomorrow morning have to pack up and change units. Not sure what we will do as we have to be out by 11.00am and can't get into our other until until 4.00pm. The hotel will store our bags.
