Having breakfasted we now set down the order of the day. The Bali 6, minus moi, are headed off on a rubber dinghy to far flung climes for some snorkelling. My job is to stand by ans deal with the Austalian consulate officials should they be spirited away to some uncharted isle by Somalian pirates. For mine, I am simply sitting in a mix of sun and shade, blogging, reading and snoozing prior to meeting up with the others for some late arvo frivolity.  We then have assorted beers, rum and cocktail mixtures to consume prior to packing tonight for tomorrows half hr flight to Honolulu or some place.

Yesterday was a day of leisure. It was bloody hot. A day for taking it easy and keeping up the fluids. My God it was hot. Still, no complaints from me as the boys sought relief in the occassional bar on a walk home from town, while the girls went shopping - again. We found our selves on the rooftop, on the 3rd fl, of Fleetwoods, which is undoubtably the foremost bar, club and possibly restaurant in Lahaina. The 3rd fl gave us a glimpse of both sea and mountains and while we didnt want to leave there were a numbef of establishments left to explore. G and I were a bit tardy in our return home and we requested our lovely security man give us a lift to our door on the back of his golf buggy.

Ten minutes to get ready then we headed off to our Laua. A good nights entertainment, plenty of food and drink and a few laughs. Then it was a an early retirement to bed.

I must add, our walking distances appear to be reducing each day as we now heavily rely on the cheap and readily available taxis. We can order a taxi and it will arrive b4 we have our shoes on. And if its only 10 bucks into town for the 7 of us, why not?

And do yourself a favour if you ever get to Hawaii. Try the Hula Pie. While im onto food, dont expect lamb on the menu while in the states. They dont have sheep here and evrything is beef. But then, they do have fresh seafood in these parts, and lobster is cheap cheap. But I think I will provide further comment on the food generally at a later time. Hows thw weather at your end? Whoops, I must duck inside and apply some SUNSCREEN.

I think I just saw George Clooney run past along the beach. I must catch him.
