30 July – Monday
Some degree of excitement last night with what appeared to be a drugs bust directly opposite the hotel. It ended up with 10 police and 3 police cars in attendance before 2 males and a female were handcuffed, searched and taken away. One of the men was very vocal and agitated, and the girl didn’t appear to want to be searched and wouldn’t spread her legs. The female officer searched her upper body in the street and removed a couple of small packages from her pocket and bra before taking her into Denny’s and then into the police car.
Whilst the hotel is perfectly okay and the street it is on is all hotels, restaurants and shops, there is a nightclub directly opposite which is extremely noisy from midnight to 5.00am as people stand outside smoking, talking, yelling, fighting, etc. The police seem to attend every night and the hotel here say they are sick of complaining, but nothing gets done. There also seem to be quite a few “ladies” working the block as well. However, the area isn’t seedy or feel unsafe.
Today we made use of the free shuttle to Hilo Hatties, not so much to go shopping here but so Leslie could visit the large hardware store opposite! On the return journey the shuttle dropped us off at the Aloha Towers, some lovely views of the harbour from the top of the tower and some really nice shops to look at without hordes of people.

You guys certainly do attract some excitement don't you!
Jack's crawling is certainly starting to develop now, but naturally he's most interested in making beelines for objects we'd rather he didn't go play with! We'll be having a more serious think about childproofing measures this weekend, I think!
