The HAWAIIAN islands.................you just never know what you you will find. The weather changes constantly from seaside to volcano peak..............75 humid degrees as we leave the house mid-morning, later a few showers and cooling for a while, then blustery winds making the palm tree fronds blow and the coconuts tumble to the ground!
Here, on that recent day trip by ferry to the island of Lanai, on leaving the
Shipwreck Beach,
we drove up through the red rocks
to the 'moonscape' named the Garden Of The Gods.
Who would have known Hawaii even had areas so arid and non-tropical..........this was so different and quite jaw-dropping after so much green, not even a coconut palm in sight!
Driving back down toward the coast, the clouds returned and the former pineapple growing fields were lush green, and the home of horses and rolling pastures.
We stopped at this beautiful Four Seasons Resort for lunch............
........Rob, Kim, Paula, me and Bob.
.............fish tacos, which have become my new favorite here in the islands, especially when the fish is freshly caught Mahi Mahi!
Love eating outdoors - the patio was really beautiful here above the ocean.............
........and dessert was a yummy fresh lime tart with
guava honey sorbet and
crushed macadamia nuts.
A few interior shots from inside the resort...................
Much more to share with you but so little time..................stay tuned,
more coming when I can catch up!
