Well, what else does one do when living on an island and have visitors, take them to the beach house - of course. Our friends Paula and Tim have this great little place up on Ha'atafu Beach so off we went for 3 days. It was a great family getaway with plenty of relaxing, a bit of sight seeing, a big night on the Saturday, followed by a BBQ for Sunday lunch as the gang from town came up to join us. Holty's is a 4 bedroom self contained house, just 100m from the beach which was great for the little kids who wanted in from the sun, and even greater for the big kids who were out chasing nemos all day.
Thanks Paula and Tim for a great weekend.
A little sight seeing thrown in - off to Keleti Beach for a look see
Nice pic gang
Then onto the blow holes
Great action on this particular day
Emily and Ryan waiting for the next big blow
Back to Ha'atafu and into the sea for a spot of snorkeling, fish everywhere
.. and sea slugs
...and star fish
..and clams
Rest time for Ebony, passed out on the deck in the breeze
OK, I am awake now, back to chewing the goggles and playing in my water containers
Back into the sea and Dylan found this eel poking its head out at him
Swim time for Gale and Ryan while Amanda and Ebony chill on the sand
Still underwater, Dylan and his mate Blaise
Just a little rest late on Sunday afternoon, Jodie with Steve and Dee
