The ocean is a world of it's own and one of my fond memories is a place where I went in Hawaii, Hanauma Bay. This is where the water is warm and so clear and fish that you can almost touch. So many beautiful colours and types. Lucky I never saw any large types like sharks!!!
A local person told me if you go snorkeling there you must take frozen peas to feed the fish. I thought it was a joke, but I did. My friends laughed and thought it was funny until we got in the water and the fish came from everywhere to get the peas. A friend of mine put some in their pocket and as they snorkeled along the peas floated out their pocket and they had a trail of fish following them!

There are many places around the world that are becoming marine reserves which is great to protect some of the endangered fish.
After the visit to the bay we came across a place that made the best banana splits ever and the biggest. What a way to finish a day at the beach!!!
This has given me an idea to share a recipe for something very yummy!!!
1x 250gram packet of granita biscuits (cookies) crushed
125 grams of butter, melted
1 x 395 gram can of caramel
4 large bananas, sliced into rounds
1 x 300ml tub of thickened cream
Three quarters of a cup of good quality chocolate, shaved
Method
Grease a pie plate and put to one side.
In a bowl mix together the crushed biscuits and the butter. Then, take the pie plate and press firmly the biscuit mixture until evenly spread on bottom and sides of plate. Put in fridge to set for about half an hour.
Then take out of fridge, now spread the caramel over the biscuit base.
Place the banana slices close together in the caramel.
Whip the Cream until slightly fluffy and place on top of the banana and caramel. Use all the cream, it may seem a lot, but it works!
Lastly, spread the shaved chocolate all over the cream.
Return to the fridge and leave for at least 2 hours. I always think it tasted better next day if there is any left. The flavours are incredible.
Enjoy and don't count the calories!!!!!
