Kahului, Hawaii


We were up in time to watch the ship dock at Kahalui. It still amazes us how this huge ship can twist and turn in such a tight space. Apparently it is something to do with anthropods?
Seeing bright sun and blue skies was quite a welcome relief from the dark overcast skies of the past week or so. This is our last port stop before we leave the ship in Los Angeles in 5 days time.
We headed off into town after coffee this morning. The queues for the shopping shuttle buses were ridiculously long so we headed into the Maui Mall on foot enjoying the warmth and sunshine. Shopping was fun.
We had lunch back on board – a bit wary eating at some local food outlets. Still have vivid memories of food poisoning on Moorea all those years ago. After lunch we tried to find a place where we could photograph the ship from the front, but we were not allowed – port security.
Did the ironing. Tomorrow is a formal night so our little laundry will be chaos all day tomorrow.
Afternoon tea in the Queen’s room – their scones are pretty good! The Eos Quartet were playing as usual. As I’ve said before, very 1950s.
The show tonight was a magician, but we gave him a miss and went up onto deck 9 to another jazz concert, then down to deck 3 to listen to the harpist. The clocks go forward an hour tonight.
