A couple of days ago we did our one off walk along the beach to Waikiki central main beach. It’s just so busy down that end hence why it’s just a one off, too many people. It takes about 15mins to walk from where we stay where it is much quieter.
Started our walk down in front of the Hilton where we do our swimming. A little overcast when we started off but that soon cleared to blue sky.
Further along we start getting amongst the crowds. So many umbrellas and bodies lying on the beach. Diamond head in the background.
Still walking
Looking back from where we walked from
The big Banyan tree on the main beach in Waikiki
Now on the main beach downtown Waikiki.
Dave and Jen no sign of Ernie anywhere 🫢
Just having a quick walk along the canals back in from the coast.
This hotel fascinates us.
Last nights sunset.
Today we took the public bus trip to the north of the Island.
From the blue dot where we are staying we took the bus up the blue line along the east coast up to the red dot, Turtle bay. Which took two hours. Then on the way back down the grey line to Haleiwa township where we had lunch and changed buses. Then back down to the south coast just east of Honolulu back to where we are staying which took just over three hours in the bus after leaving Turtle bay.
These photos of the hills we drove past along the eastern coast with the sea on the other side. These photos where taken through the buses dirty windows so not too clear.
Looking the other side of the bus through the windows to the coast side.
We have now arrived at Turtle Bay Resort. Very flash, nightly rate to stay starts at just below NZ$1,000. We won’t be staying here but it would be nice. Good temperature on this coast with the trade winds blowing in.
We had a walk around the grounds. Lovely swimming beach.
Around the other side not for swimming with all the coral.
Sitting area to watch the surfers.
Went upstairs for a coffee. This is looking out over the other bay. The water in the foreground is on the top of the downstairs roof, which is covered in about 30cm of water. Hard to explain just really only for effect.

After a coffee and a good walk and look around the Hotel we got on to the bus again to continue our day’s trip.
Above and below is the coast along the township of Haleiwa where we had to change buses.
Tonight’s sunset while writing my blog.
