Birds, trees and flowers

These last two days have been lazy. Just like a holiday should be we finally managed to sleep till 0700 today! (new record).

We had planned a lunch with Kim at 11 – so she picked us up and we all drove away to have lunch (it was actually breakfast for us). I’m still a bit unsure about all the food that Kim stuff us with, but it’s good stuff and I think it’s a good thing we live a bit outside Waikiki so we can walk it all off.

After lunch we went to Walmart to buy a small carry on for the flight from Hawaii to LA and then it was time for food again! Kim and Rob told us about the malasada which is from Portugal. It’s a bit like the “berlinerbolle”, but with less dough and you should eat it hot. It was yummy enough, but you wouldn’t eat too many at a time.

Kim let us off at the marriage licence office (which is neighbour to her work). We had to go there to get a copy of the marriage licence and to have them send the papers to Norway. On our way back home – yes, we walked all the way – we stopped by HardRock Cafe to buy my friend Tove Irene some of the stuff she wanted.

Going into town I bought a new bathing suit (my other one is a bit too  much see through). Then we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory. We had the same as in San Francisco, but the dish wasn’t as good as the one in SF, so we’ve had enough of that. Prices here are even a higher in SF, but they’re still waaaaay lower than in Norway.

So – as the title say we’ve seen a lot of pretty birds here. Green rosella parakeets, cardinals (de med rød “tofs” på hodet), etc etc. The cute pidgeons we’ve only seen in aviaries, so we’ve taken quite a few pics of the cute and small birds. There are a lot of white doves here. JO has an idea that they are left-over birds from weddings and other ceremonies :) The trees and flowers are also pretty and different and we have loads of pictures, but we’re saving some for later :)
