Tunnel Beach and Kilauea Light House

We had another great day today! Sunshine and great beaches! The breakers at Tunnel Beach are way out, but the surfers were having a ball! Fortunately, there is a small reef between the shore and those great breakers that left Tunnel Beach fairly calm. Jill and John did a little snorkeling but it was too rough for the little guys except right by the shore....but we had fun anyway! We spent the morning at the beach and returned home and had lunch and then rest time. The pictures from the beach are of Bali Hi--from South Pacific and some of the tremendous waves as well as a pipe fish that John got while snorkeling. Jean and John headed back to the Kilauea Light House and Wildlife Refuge to get more bird pictures and got some really good ones.













The bird pictures from the lighthouse are 2 Albatross, a red tailed tropic bird, a nana goose (State bird) and a red footed Boobie on her nest. We saw one egg but not sure if she had more. We came home and Jill and the boys were at the pool so we joined them and then returned to leftovers....back to Oahu tomorrow afternoon. It's been a glorious stay and we all agreed it was definitely a place to return.
