Honeymooning

Aloha from beautiful Maui!!!


This is what we wake up to every morning!

The place where we are staying is unbelievable! The picture above is a view from one of four lanais (decks) on our house. We are staying in the Rainbow Honeymoon Cottage at Huelo Point Lookout. There are around 5 cottages on the property, all very secluded and tucked away in the jungle, but we definitely have the best view! We have a hot tub and a private outdoor shower on our back patio. The shower is so cool (and big), it is covered in blue glass tile with beautiful mosaics of turtles and fishies. There is another shower inside with similar tile and two shower heads but we have been showering outside everyday, it's the only way to go!!

The house itself is so fun! We have a mahogany spiral staircase that leads to the upstairs bedroom (more of a loft), it is really a piece of art. There are windows all around (with no curtains so we wake up with the sun) and tons of skylights. We do all of our cooking outside on one of the decks, next to one of many little ponds/waterfalls tucked away around our house. We have a private hammock and our own pet geckos! We have named a few of them (Gus is our favorite). Kev also likes catching all of the frogs at night! They are huge and really makes us feel like we are in a rain forest.

There are fruit trees growing all over the property...limes, papaya, coconut, bananas, and apple bananas. There is one particular papaya that we are waiting to get pick when its ripe, should be ready today.

This is what you use to pick the fruit that is out of reach.

Not only do we get fresh fruit but we also have fresh eggs. There is a chicken coop and we can go collect eggs in the morning (the owners are so nice). We save all our organic food waste and bury it in the compost pile...we feel like two little hippies staying here! :)

The first day we were here we picked some limes and made cocktails to bring to the pool, didn't realize it was only 10:30 in the morning, oh well we're on vacation! The limes were so good and smelled delicious, we have never had limes so fresh before.


Fresh limes with Absolute Mandarin vodka and 7-up...yum-oh!

Well off for our morning sun tan and hot tubbing. Life is rough!
