Back to Honolulu. And yes, I did find some friends with a car to drive me. Some of us were hurting from the night before so we got a late start. And a flat tire.
But what seemed like a hurdle actually turned into quite the treat. Because when all they have at the rental shop are Ford Mustangs that’s what you get as a replacement. Cruising around Hawaii in a convertible is unsurprisingly blissful.
We moved along to a short hike not more than a half-hour from the city. And the hike was short too. About 20 minutes walk to a small waterfall and a natural pool to swim in. Besides the three of us, there was another small group of natives who we chatted up. It was a relaxing afternoon.
Then on to the beach in Waikiki before checking into the hostel. I am starting to get rid of the farmers tan that I have and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I had a mostly quiet night because I am traveling to New Zealand today. I was able to link up with a few friends I made when I had first arrived and they gave me a proper sending off. On to the next.
