MAUI...
Got to Maui and man was it so good to get away from the cold Japanese Winter and into some Sun, we stayed in a hostel in Lahaina..
On our first day we headed to check out the Maui swap meet in Kahului..here they had heaps of Island stuff and goods for sale.. it was a good chance to check out and meet some of the locals..after this we headed back to lahaina and sorted out doing a surf lesson..the rest of the day was spent just chillin on the beach and swimming..

The next day we had our surf lesson early in the morning, we spent about an half hour on the beach learning the basics on how to stand up and catching waves..after this we were out on the water and trying to put into action what we learnt. Well it took awhile but after a few mishaps i started to catch some waves.. what an awesome feeling..primo as.. chanel was a natural and was up and standing in no time.. we really enjoyed oursleves..after abit of a rest and chill we headed back out to try on our own..surfs up cuzzys.

the next day we spent just chilling and sunbathing...and in the afternoon we jumped back into the water for another surf..

our last day we spent up the line at the beautiful Kapalua Bay, rated one of the best beaches in the world.. it was awesome to chill, work on the old tan and going for abit of a swim..primo day.. that night we went to the Old Lahaina Luau.. this was Mean, here we were greeted with a maitai and a lei..after this we were escorted to our table and it was all you can drink..after having a few drinks we had the mean traditional hawaiian feed.after the feed we watched the Hawaiian Hula show which was really awesome to see..it was a really awesome way to cap off our time in Maui...
