Hawaii

Well, Hawaii was awesome!

We only had three days so we just stayed on Oahu and spent it down by Waikiki Beach. Yeah, I know, it's the most touristy place of all, but you gotta go there to see it for yourself.

The hotel was fine, just straightforward, and upon arrival we got acquainted with the amazing one way system. Seriously, it took us like two hours plus to get to our hotel but in the end, we realised, we could have gotten off at the stop about an hour ago and then just walked for like one minute!

After settling in, we checked out the beach, grabbed a Cheeseburger - oh yeah! - and then chilled out. Watched some dancers and singers on the beach and got tempted to buy a Hawaiian shirt - like I'd ever wear it...

Anyway, Day 2 saw Phil poorly and was spent meeting up with Andy and his family. I hadn:t seen him since High School! He hasn't changed much really, only a bit more grown-up! heheheh We got to see a bit more of Oahu, which is truly beautiful, and had a nice lunch together.

Day 3 was spent on the beach and surfing - but the weather was bad, so we ended up going to a bar and getting a bit pishlled... well, I didn't mean to be but those Margheritas are pretty yummy and then I also had a Mai Tai and boy, that was strong... oof.

Then it was time to go...

By the way, we had the world's worst Italian food there - if you're ever down on Waikiki Beach, avoid the authentic looking trattoria. It is shit. Honest. Don't bother even looking into it. I ordered spaghetti with meatballs. I got cold noodles with a tin of tomatoes on top. The meatball was very strange. I didn't want to eat it. Phil had something else, but it was equally bad.

You may ask, why did you go to an Italian? But it was either burger, Haagen-Dasz or Italian. We thought you can't go wrong with a bit of pasta, well apparently you can.
