Sunburn

I'm burned. Just rubbed aloe lotion all over my back and shoulders.

We went all around the island of Oahu today, first stop was a lookout where in the right season you can see hump back whales after which we stopped at a beach with massive waves that we timidly body surfed. Got dumped a couple times by the ways and came up spluttering. Cool sitting atop a wave looking 3m down to the people below you.

Next we grabbed the snorkelling gear and went to the next bay round. Lots of pretty dead coral but quite a few fishes swimming around. Pender saw a turtle which I missed. Apparantly not a big deal as I will see more later.

We grabbed a little lunch from the supermarket and sat in the shade after that before heading around a couple more bays to most definitely the nicest beach I've seen so far. Apparantly it is just huge waves in the winter months but right now at this time of the year, no waves and crystal clear water. Had another swim in it as we walked our way around to some rocks at the far end to go bouldering. Bouldered for a while and then jumped off a high rock into the ocean. That wonderful feeling of terror as you plummet toward the water. Did that a couple times before coming home.

So there you have it, my whole day in detail. What did you do today? ;)
