Day 11 Waikiki, Pearl Harbour, Ohau As I write this it is 7pm Hawaiian time which is 4:58am back in the UK and that is the time we got up this morning, I wouldn't mind but it's even earlier tomorrow as we have flight to Fiji to catch! Well we did catch the 5:45am bus which eventually turned up a 6:05am and got to Pearl Harbour around 7:15am. My, what a journey, having done the return journey as well which was just as long, I can honestly say it's not an exper...

Day 10 - Kauai to Oahu Well dinner was very good last night but again I didn't manage to eat it all! I don't how these Americans manage; well maybe I do judging by the size of some of them; most people seem to take "doggy bags" back to their rooms though so perhaps they should look at their portion sizing! Apparently Duke (who the restaurant is named after) was the first Hawaiian to win a gold medal in the Olympics and introduced surfing into Mainland US, so h...

Day 9 - Kauai, Hawaii Well the first cloudy day since we have left the UK. I know we shouldn't complain as the islands have had massive storms with rain, thunder and lightning but because of our island hopping we so far have missed them all, however a bit disappointing though after yesterday. As we have no car here we had intended to stay round the pool and beach today and just swim and sunbathe but instead took ourselves off for a walk after breakfast acros...

Day 8 - Kauai, Hawaii Woke again to yet another glorious day on this paradise island. The sun is shining and all is good with the world. Walked to the local mall first thing after breakfast, 2 ½ miles to get some supplies and some cough medicine for Bill who is really suffering especially at night (thanks Rich for sharing his flu). There was a shuttle bus but that didn't start until 9:30 and we need to do some exercise to counteract all the food and drin...

Day 7 - Maui to Kauai Our last day in Maui and transfer flights to Kauai. Another lovely sunny day so have decided we would join the Americans in a morning constitutional along the beachfront walk; well we walked and they mostly ran; with the food they eat I guess this is the only way the slim ones manage to watch their weight. Surfs up today, not large by Hawaiian standards but impressive all the same; it seems strange to see an almost flat calm sea and then ...
