Oahu

Have been in Honolulu for the past week, initially for a conference, and then for a bit of a vacation. After the conference was over, we rented a convertible and started to wheel around the island.


Started out heading east from Waikiki, following the coast.


Spent a lot of time hopping along North Shore beaches, watching the surfers here at Waimea Bay, trying to coax R. into the calmer waters for snorkelling. At one point, we even ventured out into shin-deep waters. Living on the edge!


Cool looking waves.


The Banzai Pipeline was looking pretty rough.

Back in Honolulu, we took the opportunity to take in some "Tiny Bubbles" - I am bummed that this picture with Don Ho didn't come out so well.


It seems in Hawai'i, it is de rigeur to see the pineapples. Lots, and lots, and lots of pineapples.

My culinary highlight was definitely the "Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck."

Delicious! So, on to Maui.
