What a great place, friendly people with big smiles and warm welcomes. Reminds us of our visit earlier this year to Fiji.
Our departure last night at 10pm from Honolulu was rather special with the island just a mass of lights. The land is rather flat other than the mts to the west and north. You could see how homes were built up along ridges of the mts as the lights went up in a curve, like looking at the curl of a wave so rather different.
This island is much less populated so not as busy as Oahu was. There are chickens roaming everywhere as in 1992 there was a hurricane that destroyed much of the village fencing etc and especially the hen houses. The roosters and chickens escaped into the bush and now under Hawaiian law they are protected just like all the birdlife on the islands. However, if a chicken lands in your yard it is then a chook again and available for capture. Lawrie has counted 10 he can see from where we are sitting in front of WalMart. They are bright coloured and small like game chickens not as big as our chooks at home.
