Aloha Oahu!
So I checked out of the noisiest hostel in the world this morning and jumped on an airport transfer already for my flight to Hawaii :-)
The flight was fine I watched back to back episodes of HAWAII 50! Although the cabin crew were a bit grumpy they had flowers in their hair but there was not much hawaiian spirit! Which made me start thinking is it all a myth ?
As soon as I landed I picked up my car rental and completely got up sold too - im now driving around in a convertible beetle ! I know some of you reading this won't be surprised ;-) pic to follow. So they had to show me how to work the roof and then i couldn't get it to start i thought they may take that as a sign that perhaps they should have left me with the more basic model!
I then pootled off to the 6 lane highway - each side with a 55 mph speed limit! I used the sat nav thanks key and mum :-) and found my way to my room for the night on an organic farm community very rural ! No drums, sirens, cement mixer or just loud noises here! Its rather pleasant and as soon as i popped my bag in i went to have a drive around, to the beach parks. They were full of local families who were settled for the evening with their bbqs , gazebos and tables and chairs! It is very much a local area where i am on the west coast but thats what i wanted - im not about to nick their wave with my surfing ability. I dont feel threatened and i enjoyed watching them all on the beach -
Some were even playing vball although why you would play with 10 aside is beyond me ;-)
After cruising the different parks i went for a dinner in a local restaurant and had a plantain dish - it tasted of rubber but it filled me up. I said it was v nice when they came to collect the plate! Even though it wasnt to my pallet !
Im back settled in my room about to use the communal bathroom, ive lost another 3 hours with the time difference so another early night for me !
Tomorrow i have breakfast here and then will take a leisurely drive up to the north shore there is a cafe on the way called sunny side up - i have to go just for the name !
Night all - night teddy ( miss u ) xx
