Ulua again

We finally woke to a calm morning so decided to try snorkeling at Ulua beach in Wailea again.
It was excellent!
Bright sun made for great visibility in the clear waters.
We saw angel fish, moorish idols, and lots of other colorful fish and coral. There are lots of different kinds of coral in pinks ,yellows, purple, and white.
You can see Molokini Island in the distance. It is half of an old lava cone that is a popular dive and snorkel site. Took a snorkel tour there on one of our other visits.
I've included some pictures of the types of fish we saw but I didn't take them, they are downloaded, but this exactly what they look like. Sadly, I don't have an underwater camera.

We spent a couple of hours there then came back and showered and then went for lunch at Da Kitchen.
It's a very small place . No liquor license, you can bring your own beer or wine if you want.
They serve a lot of the local favorite, the plate lunch ,which is usually some kind of meat in gravy over rice with a scoop of macaroni salad!
We didn't have that.
Karen had saimen noodle soup and I had a tempura battered mahi- mahi fish sandwich.
Portions are huge and very good.

After lunch we came back and got ready for company.
We had met a Nanaimo couple in the Iao Valley and had arranged for them to stop by for a drink and to see our condo.
They seemed to like it, we had a couple of beers before they went back to their condo.
We plan to meet them tomorrow at the 5 Palms restaurant for happy hour. Half price cocktails and pupu's with an ocean side view of the sunset from 3 till 7.
It will be our last night in Maui.
