Sunset

from Waikiki

We were not looking forward to the journey to LA as it looked like we would have to sit in Maui airport for 6 hours and then in Honolulu airport for another 5.

With our free half day we hopped on a bus bound for Waikiki. The journey took about an hour but went through chinatown and the historic parts of Honolulu so it was worth the 2 dollar fare!

We revisited our old honeymoon haunts (they're renovating the hotel we stayed in), ate luxuriously in Jack-in-the-box (bit fresher than McDs but with an even scarier mascot), met up by chance with Susanne (from our hostel in Maui) who wasn't expecting to see us again and watched the sunset on the beach.

We caught an early evening bus back to the airport for our flight to the mainland...

We now live in Christchurch and post the odd blog now and again...whenever the travel bug bites. Happy reading! Also, f... full info
