Aloha! - Tuesday

Today was another shop and hangout day. We had breakfast just down the street at the Morning Galaxy coffee shop. Here, one can order rice instead of potatoes, which made Cat quite happy, since she prefers rice!

Next, we went to the grocery store, very close to our condo in the other direction. We restocked our green tea (in a can) and got peanut butter, jelly, and bread. That's what we had for lunch, along with fruit.

I was unsuccessfully in twisting Cat's arm to hike to Diamond Head, so we spent most of the morning shopping (also unsuccessfully) for a bikini. After Cat tired of shopping (and I was bordering on insane), we went back to the beach to swim for awhile. There were no patches of sand big enough for us to lie on (I'm serious!) so when we tired of swimming, we went back to our room. We did get ice cream cones on the way back. Mine was Pina Colada flavored.

We had a long siesta -- watching TV from about Noon until 3 (when the sun is WAY too intense for us).

I dragged Cat out for a walk which took us as far as the zoo (toward Diamond Head). We didn't actually go to the zoo, we merely found it. We did go visit a wonderfully huge Banyan in the public park across from the zoo. On the way back, we went through the International Marketplace. Cat finally found a bikini she liked that fit in one of the shops, so that mission at least was accomplished.

We had Italian take-out for dinner. There's a little place literally next door to our entrance to the Kuhio Banyan Club.
