We booked a Morning Wildlife Cruise<\/a>\u00a0which starts at 7.30am! once again, it’s a super early start as the drive to the pier was 1hr!!!\u00a0So we\u00a0reached the place, hop on to the\u00a0cruise. It was our 1st time snorkeling! I have NEVER snorkeled before! Prior to\u00a0booking this tour, we asked the person if it was alright\u00a0for newbies and they assured us that it’s alright as long as we know how\u00a0to swim… so we trusted them<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So..the snorkelling gear is not easy to get used to! boo!\u00a0both of us had difficulties getting used to the gears \ud83d\ude41 So we end up holding our breath and swimming to see the creatures! ok.. the water was super deep as well.. quite scary for pple who are snorkeling for the first time. My advice.. DO NOT JOIN THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE NEW TO SNORKELING<\/strong> – rent\/buy snorkel gears and\u00a0go snorkel at shark cove instead!!<\/p>\n

Shark Cove (North Shore area):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back to snorkeling – we were very fortunate to have very friendly crew to\u00a0‘look after’ us.. haha.. so we managed to see these creatures! It was sooooo amazing to see sea turtles, surgeonfish right\u00a0before your eyes! My only regret is I can’t\u00a0snorkel properly! There’s always next time.. and it’s not too late to learn!!<\/p>\n

(Pictures taken by film waterproof camera so not very clear)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were supposed to see dolphins but no luck \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Right after the snorkeling trip, we headed to North Shore. Stopped by this sign to take a picture \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

then had shaved ice at Matsumoto<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and fed a thirsty sea turtle .. haha<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you know that LOST is filmed in North Shore?<\/p>\n

Looks familiar?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We ended the day with a walk along\u00a0Waikiki beach and saw the beautiful sunset…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As though it wasn’t romantic enuough… we had\u00a0dinner at Hula Grill. It was beach front dinning, facing the beach! The view is spectacular and ambience is\u00a0super romantic in my opinion.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Food was great, in fact\u00a0BETTER ( and 1\/2 the price of Alan Wong’s)!! My fave is the Pineapple Creme Brulee!! iyoh.. so sinful!!! :X On top of that, there was live music and singing. wah…\u00a0it was so romantic… seriously, i think this is the MOST romantic trip BH had planned!!! \ud83d\ude00 If you are listening to my mixpod, 1 of the songs we heard was ‘Just the way you are’ in the slower version. I didn’t like the song initially BUT maybe it’s the slower version + the ambience, BH and I felt that the song is super nice now! (Btw, BH came home and practise the song on guitar! hahaha)<\/p>\n

well… so that’s all about\u00a0our\u00a0short getaway in Hawaii – just like in LOST ” We need to go back, Kate..”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another beautiful picture of Honolulu from the skies<\/p>\n
