Oahu Hawaii

Today was our one and only sight seeing day with a car. Michael drove around a portion of the island with multiple stops. 

First up was Nu'Uanu Pali Lookout. It was very windy but a pretty view. 



Next up was Ho'Omaluhia Botanical Gardens. I thought this red bamboo was interesting. 


Cacao tree for my love of chocolate. 


I forgot the name of the lake in the botanical gardens but it was teaming with life; ducks and koi. 


We are not sure what the fish were but we are guessing koi. 


I thought this bird was interesting, it has red around the eyes. 


We followed the hiking path which came to this clearing, we were the only ones around. It was very peaceful. 




Continuing on around the island, Makapu'U Beach.

Waimanalo Beach. This side of the island the water was a beautiful teal blue. 
Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. 

One of the many foods we tried and shared with friends. Malasadas are Portuguese fried donuts. Aloha, until next time.

Hawaii with Friends


 


We met up with one of my previous work mates and we spent the day with her. I also have proof that I do drink on occasion. If was a fun day and a nice surprise.
