We so enjoyed the many people we encountered in the UK. The diversity of culture and their friendly light hearted approach to life was wonderful. Below is a familiar sight - The Bobbies were great.
In the city of Bath, among other things they are famous for, is what is called a Bath Bun. It is a sweet roll with sugar and fruit on top. Here Vandi is asking directions on how to get to the bakery where we can find a Bath Bun.
Success. Russ, Denise and Vandi enjoying a "Bath Bun."
A new friend that Denise found at Punch and Judy's pub.
Street Vendor. Despite rumors to the contrary, we found the food in London wonderful.
Brits take their sports very seriously. A group of fans headed to a rugby match.
A jugglers assistant.
Vandi, Denise and Russ enjoying the magician.
The street performer ( magician ) had everyone so intent on his act. The following few pictures are many of them watching.
These kids were so enthralled with the action, they had no idea I was shooting these shots.
Wonderful, beautiful People of the UK.
One of the great things about Hawaii are the Honu (Sea Turtles). We had a great time watching them when out on our hikes. One morning we were watching for the whales and this fellow decided to come check us out.
Even the turtles like to sun bathe in Hawaii.
Here are a couple of shots of us enjoying the sunshine. We loved taking hikes away from the resort and down the beach (actually the lava flows). We met some very friendly and interesting people on these hikes and we will post some of their photos later on.
Below is a shot of the Fairmont Orchid, the resort where we stayed.

We thought Sami would get a kick out of this guy. Vandi couldn't resist.
One of our favorite areas of London was Covent Gardens. The musicians and other performers would set up in different areas of the square. We would wander around watching and listening.
A great band.
This guy was a birdman. He would do bird calls and other very strange things.
Vandi's favorite was this magician. He was very entertaining and I spent quite a bit of time photographing the people watching his show. ( Those photos in a later post ) This girl was so cute, I have several great shots of her.
