We had a stormy night, but as we learned from the weather forecast – it’s a mix of everything – sun, rain, grey, warm, humid, windy etc. If it rains – wait 10 mins and the sun will shine!
We woke up really early. The 3 hrs time difference from San Francisco was really hard and we tried to not fall asleep at 9 pm (which was really midnight in SF) – but at 1030 pm I – Anett – fell asleep.
Honolulu is a busy city. It’s actually a bit more busy than we thought it would be, but from seeing all the posh shops (Armani, Tiffany, Burburry, Louis Vuitton etc etc) we understand that this IS a major – busy – city I thought it would more rural – how wrong was I! We walked all over town, but was really tired after walking for hrs, so we took the “milk route” bus on our way home.
The first thing I did today was to buy a white leather jacket… I know! How can they sell leather in a place like this! They told us they only sold it to tourists. So – we carried this jacket for the next 6 hrs (not a good plan, but I couldn’t just leave it). We – again – had a nice lunch at Cheesecake Factory. We had a large lunch, so there will be no other meals today – guess we should have taken a smaller potion!
Tomorrow is the big day! We’re meeting up with Kim and Robert and we’re up at 7:15 am for a visit at the local farmers marked! We – or JO – has known Kim for a long time, but never met her, so I think it’s about time that we all meet up with some “old” friends! Come back tomorrow for some more pics.
Here are some pics from todays Honolulu walk. We saw some cute birds that we’ve only seen caged up and it’s always amazing to see them live. The trees are huge! You can hide your whole family and then some more when it rains – and not to forget the flowers! The expensive parrot flowers are all over the place and I can’t get enough of them!
