Saturday!

The weekend finally came around, and did not start well this morning - overflowing toilet - luckily the bathroom floor is so wonky and holed it all flowed to a corner and out......still gross to clean up after though.......

But in contrast the rest of my saturday was fabulous! Picked up my friend Liz and we headed to do a Costco scout out for her (she had never been and wanted to see if she wanted a card), we then headed to Makapuu, stopping at the Sandy Beach overlook and then did a mile (paved) walk up the Makapuu ridge to see the lighthouse on the cliffs. We were also treated to humpback whales from the top which was wonderful. Each winter over 2000 humpbacks come to the Hawaiian islands to breed, before heading back to their feeding grounds in Alaska and northern California. Even from a distance I still love to watch them.

After that we headed to Kailua for sushi and then back to Honolulu the long-way around, taking Beach Belle for a good spin before she lays "fallow" again next friday for six weeks. Poor Belle, one day i'll be here long enough to get her over 1000 miles........

Sandy Beach from the overlook. The day was windy but beautifully sunny - it was nice to catch some rays instead of being holed up in an office all day!

The Makapuu lighthouse. I love the walk up here, not too steep and not too long, but still feels like a little workout, and you get a fabulous view from the top!

Me and Liz at the top of the ridge. Definitely windy up there! This photo makes me look like I still have long hair.....funny!
