We used the time difference to our advantage and made reservations for Hunama Bay for 7:30 am. The sun was rising as we drove, parked, and walked down to the bay. It was quiet and peaceful. It was one of the first tour times of the day so they wasn't anyone on the beach either.
After we watched a short video about how to protect the coral we headed to the beach. Unfortunately we didn't consider that it might be to cold to really enjoy playing in the water but we made the best of it. I didn't even get in the water. I sat in the sand watching the kids and just taking in the moment. We purchased some really great scuba equipment and it worked super well.
Matt really got into the fish watching and shot some great video
We spent a good chunk of our time building sand creations
We bought the City Go Pass and had selected several things off of their website to do and had planned on doing the water park but spent way more time at Hunama Bay than we thought so instead we grabbed lunch and headed back to the hotel to get ready for family pictures. I found this photographer thru Facebook and they told us when and where to meet them. We stopped at a local grocery store and bought fresh leis for all the girls. They were a great touch. We had an hour to take pictures but it became apparent pretty quickly that the time change was now working against us and everyone was getting tired but Liam had the hardest time hiding it. Our photographers did a great job and you would never know how hard it was at times.
On the way back to the hotel we got ice cream as a reward. We also found this place on Facebook and it didn't disappoint. The prep for this trip was much bigger than any other trip we had ever done. One of the big things was where to eat...we had a huge list of areas of the island and things we needed to try. I really want to be a foodie but sometimes it can be hard with my dietary restrictions.
Day 2 is complete and we are thrilled to be going to bed and get ready for more adventures tomorrow.
