We had been invited to come to some sort of Farmer’s Market
with everybody in the morning, which turned out quite similar to our market in
Maku’u albeit a bit smaller, and the weather was much better than it had ever been on
that side of the island. We walked around for a bit and then got ourselves some
cookies and lilikoi juice to be enjoyed in the shade, but weren’t really tempted
to buy any of the artwork, jewelry and food that was on offer, even though I
did purchase a little book on Hawaiian mythology in a nearby souvenir-shop.
After Cameron and Lori drove us back home we decided to go to the beach once it
got a little bit less intensely sunny, which we then did, together with Jan, the
French and Cameron. Jan could only lend us one set of snorkelling equipment, so Sarah decided to just swim around without snorkelling while the rest of us got all geared up and went out towards the deep water where dolphins had been seen just before. We indeed
didn’t have to wait long until suddenly there were lots of them underneath us,
swimming in little synchronized clusters of threes and twos and coming up to
the surface every other minute before then descending slowly into the blue
depths again.

| That little old dude wasn't a midget or anything, he just kept going really really deep into the water and then floated about there for ages so I thought I should include him |
Some of them were clearly up for a bit of fun and kept jumping out of the water quite spectacularly and twirling around. After a while I had seen enough and went back to the shore
to give Sarah my equipment, and then just layed on the beach for the rest of the
time reading before everyone decided to head back. After getting back it started raining and Sarah and I got Marina involved in a bit of gambling in the form of playing dice with us - needless to say that I won :)
