This last week went by sooooo fast, I can't believe I have to leave tomorrow.....or in a few hours, since the airport shuttle is picking me up at 4.15AM!
But let me tell you about my week here in Hawaii! When I arrived last thursday I was pretty confused, since I left Sydney on Thursday 6PM and I arrived here at 8AM THURSDAY!! :D
I had to wait for my room to be ready, so I decided to walk to Honolulu and buy food and an american cell phone! The day went by pretty quick and I just hung around the hostel! This place is great, nice people, (mostly) clean room and a lot of stuff you can rent or get for free here ;) I've met a(nother ;)) german girl here. Her name is Isabel and we did everything together last week.
On Friday we decided to "climb" up the Diamond Head Crater, which was great! You have to walk around 1-2h and the view from up there is phenomenal!
Saturday we wanted to go to the North Shore, but I have to admit we didn't inform ourselves well enough, because we ended up sitting in a bus for 3h and we only saw the Sunset beach :/ oh well, it was great anyway, biiiig waves for surfers, not so good for swimmers ;)
Kailua beach was next, on sunday. Since Kailua is more a family beach we went further to Lanikai beach and it was awesome! Great flat water for swimming, nice sand, not too many people, great beach!!!
The weather forecast said it was raining on monday, so we thought we rather stay in and planned an "inside activity" :) since the bread over here isn't exactly good, we decided to bake a good old loaf of bread :D it was cool, but we "wasted" a great SUNNY day with baking and watching a movie outside on my ipad ;)
Yesterday I FINALLY made it to Waikiki beach (that's pretty weird since I'm staying only 2 blocks away ;))! We watched the sunset and relaxed in the sand!
And today I took my first surf lessons!!! It was AWESOME and it turnes out I'm pretty good at it. I could stand every single time and it was soooo much fun doing it! :D After that we wanted to lay on the beach for a while, but it was just too hot to lay in the sun!
I just finished packing my suitcase again and since I bought some new stuff I have to take an extra carry-on bag to take all my stuff with me ;)
Hope I manage to get up so early tomorrow morning and I finish this entry with a LOT of pictures from this beautiful island......
ALOHA!
