Well from Canadian bears to turtles, very weird ferret looking creatures and stunning fish. We are in one of the most beautiful tropical ‘do nothing’ spots I have ever been in.
Turtle Bay is on the North Shore of Oahu and is a magical place of palm trees, tropical gardens and huge surf. We are in a lovely three bedroom apartment that sits right on the ocean. Out the back are beautiful gardens and a wonderful beach with oh so white sand and a gorgeous swimming spot. Out the front is the wilder surf beach. The Ocean Villas that we are staying in are exceptionally comfortable five star apartments that are so well equipped. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lovely outdoor area, a pool, hot tub and everything in between.
The beach is almost at our door and definitely looks like something out of a Hawaiian movie. I have been driving my poor colleagues mad singing beach boys songs. A few hundred metres away is the hotel. There are a couple of lovely beach side restaurants between us and the hotel so it is so easy to stroll down and sit and while away the time sipping on a pina colada.
The sunset here is amazing – I really haven’t ever seen anything like it. It is nice to be away from the touristy Waikiki beach – all of the tourists there don’t know what they are missing a mere 50 minutes or so at the other end of the Island.
