Hey Everybody,
Just spent the last 2 weeks in Hawaii, O'ahu to be precise. We had the intentions of doing a little bit of island hopping but not only are we watching the pennies or 'cents' we also really couldn't be bothered, The Island of O'ahu (Honolulu, Waikiki & Pearl Harbour etc) has enough to keep us busy.
We have basically relaxed until we couldn't relax no more! Actually thats not entirely true, we have caught the bus around the island (you can go anywhere for $2) for a few excursions.
We landed after another gruelling 9hour flight from Sydney and checked into our hostel. We stayed at this one for the whole 2 weeks its by far the best we've had yet. We have done alot of shopping as all the designer stores are here, regardless of our lack of money Laura is a huge believer in you are never to broke to go shopping.
We have been to the Northshore which has some beautiful beaches and guess what...more sea turtles, there everywhere! we have also been to Chinatown and Pearl Harbour, highly recommended, very interesting. We have also been on a little walk to Manoa falls which isn't the most impressive waterfall but still something different.
However we have spent most of our time on Waikiki beach, just watching the world go by. We have learned to surf aswell which has been alot of fun, some of the waves are stupidly big and if you catch one its quite a ride!
Oh and a friend of mine recommended we try Cheesecake at the 'Cheesecake Factory' which we did and it was by far the tastiest Vanilla & Caramel Cheesecake we've ever had, so for anybody coming to Hawaii or the States you must have some. Also due to our 'traveller ways' we have gained the ability of scavaging and the 'Honolulu Cookie Company' has been a blessing, we can walk around there for as long as we like picking off at the free samples they offer.
However we are very much aware that we have 10days left. So we are trying to make the most of it.
See ya all soon
