Got up and chilled out this morning in the lounge area. I had signed up for the free tour today but it wasn't leaving until 1pm. There were 15 of us on the tour. We headed to Makena and went to Oneloa - Big Beach. The weather wasn't so great today but it was still really humid and the sun did come out every so often. We spent around 2 hours here. It's going into the rainy season in Hawaii now so some days may be overcasted. After leaving Big Beach we had to climb...

Got up and went to the lounge area for a coffee. Then I walked up to the bus stop to get the bus to Lahaina. It's another historical town with lots of shops, restaurants and places to see and visit. I had lunch here and then walked along Lahaina Harbour. There was a market situated right underneath the famous Banyan Tree. The tree was massive. Then I got another bus to Waihikuli Beach. The beaches in Maui are so beautiful and the surfers were out in the water aga...

All the staff have been backpackers travelling around and ended up working in the hostel. After we left the beach we went to a ...

Then I got one of the free buses to Queen Ka'ahumanu Shopping Centre in Kahului. I spent most of the day here having a look around. Then I got the bus back to the hostel. In the evening I just chilled out in the lounge area watching films One Missed Call and Pearl Harbour.

Got up ready to be picked up at 9.45am to go to the airport for my flight to Maui. I said goodbye to everyone. I had had a really great time in Oahu and met some really nice people. I will be returning to Waikiki on Monday for 1 night before I fly to Auckland, New Zealand as I can't fly out of Maui. One of the hardest things about travelling is that you meet so many great people in each place you visit and then have to say goodbye to them knowing that you probabl...
