We started out by heading uphill - literally - to about 4000 feet where our next host graciously had accepted all kinds of shipments (literally: from underwear to laptops!)
[HELP: IF YOUR VIDEO STOPS INTERMITTENTLY AS YOU TRY TO PLAY IT:
For those without super fast internet connections (including us, at the moment) your videos will probably not play continuously without some advance buffering. It is easy to buffer, however, so all is not lost. Simply click 'play' to start it playing, then just click the pause button (II) on the lower left side of the video screen until you see it has buffered 1/4-1/1 past the right side of the dot (there is a red 'play' line to the left of the dot and a faded red 'buffer' line to the right of the dot). Once buffered, simply hit the red play (>) arrow in the lower left corner again and the video should play through without interruption. If it does not, it is most likely because you did not let it buffer long enough. Slow connections may require you to buffer the entire video before you begin to play it - fine so long as you know what to do!!?? Now you know. Enjoy the show!]
Anyway, here we are at her house enjoying the glorious panoramic view and a cup of tea:
Next, we had a late afternoon appointment with an opthamologist, so Camilla could get a prescription for a new pair of Rx sunglasses (the old ones are described in greater detail in 'Because the Sun Never Shines in Denmark' below). Here she is in the waiting room next to a tree that looks like a 'hanukkah tree except they use gold with blue out here - kinda throws you when you are used to New York's blue + silver/white vs. red + gold + green...so we'll just call this 'secular island decor':
And then it was on to Queen Kaahumanu Mall for a quick visit to LensCrafters for a quick solution to the sun 'problem' - a new pair of polarized shades. While LensCrafters readied her new shades during the promised hour, we decided to have a look at the various island holiday festivities taking place throughout the mall.
