I am so tired tonight ! I left Kailua this morning and went straight to Diamond head the look out point over Waikiki. I say direct I got a bit lost! But I was still there at 9:15! The climb was tough but there were people there bigger and older than me doing it. It was worth it the view was amazing and the sea so clear. After this I drove to Waikiki parked up and just walked and walked sussing out the beach and the shops! I stopped for lunch and then went ba...

Finally a bike and beach day the car was rested until about 18:00! I had to use it then as I realised despite claiming this was my favourite place i had no evidence! I also needed to pop to target to get a holdall as my take on bag for the flight ! Im a bit too close to the 23kg allowance.

But the gardens smelt lovely and fresh and it was a pleasant way of spending a couple of hour...

The big decision today was should I just stay at the wonderful kuhmana community farm or should I head to the North Shore the place ive always wanted to go! Every time I turned a corner around the coast line today I thought id found my favourite beach again and again and again. I make no apologies for the amount of beach shots today they were all just amazing. I even chilled and read my book on a couple of them. It took about an hour to reach the north shore f...
