Beach day: Octopus and Turtles "on display" and prime rib "on the menu"

Really, I should have probably booked a surfing or paddle board lesson here on Maui, but I just felt like hanging out by the beach and check out the fish. Snorkeling here is special. Maybe not as many fish as I have seen on the Maledives or in Sharm el Sheikh, but as a real treat, I got to see an octopus today and a turtle.

In the afternoon I booked my ferry and golf trip for tomorrow, before I went for a run staring at a beautiful rainbow and then headed to Lahaina and strolled along Front street. Lahaina was the capital of Hawaii in the 19th century until it was moved to Honolulu. Pretty little shops, a historic district and a lot of art shops and galleries. Upon advice of the travel agent, I parked my car in the only fee free parking lot - checking out where it was - as I will need to park my car there for tomorrows outing to the the island Lana'i.

Mmh, prime rib for dinner at the Outback steak house. Thanks Aussies for putting up this chain. As it is a small world, I ended up sitting next to Nicholas at the bar. He is the guy that pulled out the shark yesterday and was quite pleased with the pictures I took. He came for dinner here as he only caught another shark today (an even bigger one he claimed) but not any fish he intended to eat.
