The Teo Maui story.....
This was a very pleasant stay and the weather was apperently better than normal. We had no rain and it was about 27 degrees in the water.
We watched the "mandatory" Hula Hula show. Aron also managed to get close to a mermaid.
This is the B&B we stayed at on Maui "Tropical style on Maui".
An interesting local spider we found at the B&B, plus all of us gathered outside our apartment.
Our B&B. We could pick starfruit and avocado every day if we wanted.
This was our nearest beach, (Ulua Beach) about five minute drive from the house. The water was quite warm and the sealife was good. We saw a lot of beautiful fishes, crabs and murenas. We went down to this beach almost every day.
Arnold with a tiger shark we found by the reef and Arnold snorkling, at Ulua Beach.
This is one of fishes we saw at Ulua.
Aron enjoyed his time in the water as well with a big smile on his face, at Ulua beach.
Grandpa and Aron looking at something at Ulua and a bit of the nice Maui scenery.
These are two of the beaches on the north side of Maui (Paia and Hookipa) which are a lot more rough! The waves were about 3m high and it was difficult to get through the waves (and come out with your swimming trunks on!). At Hookipa they had the annual windsurfing competition.
In the south where the road just about finishes there is a big lava field (from around 1780). Grandpa said this is a good snorkling place when the waves are not too high. Aron and Arnold only wet their feet on the lava beach.
Maui is appearently the most efficient place in the world to grow sugar cane, so we went on the Sugar Cane Train. We visited also the sugar cane museum.
We went to Lahaina to look at the Haloween celebrations which was a very interesting experience. Arnold had to re-dress as much as he could and we found two astronauts and much more.
One of the big Tropical Plantations with a wide range of tropical fruits, and for a "small fee" ($10) you could join the tour.
Ioa Valley was used by the natives as a look-out for enemies.
This is Whalers Village. Lot of whaling ships had their port here.
