i don't know why but i love the fact that Hawaii has two Is at the end.
dad and i arrived in Hawaii 3-5 days after mum and saffron did. to be more precise we didn't arrive in Hawaii but we arrived in honolulu. We drove to our hotel. the hotel was right on Hawaii's most famous beach Waikiki.
By now you realise i am now in Hawaii but u can't understand why i didn't just name this post Hawaii.
The truth is when i came to Hawaii i had taken a couple of photos with my new super cool cannon AE-1 camera and i wanted to develop and see my first batch so i brought my film to a place left it and then left my camera in a suitcase. i did this cause i thought we where only going to Maui for a few days then going back to Oahu before going to the big island. i was mistaken and consequently didn't bring my camera.
so these 10 pictures are the poor excuse for the amazing photos i would of taken.
1. duke kahanamouku statue
internet for scale
you can step outside our hotel (after an extremely slow lift ride and a couple of stairs) and straightaway you will see the paper, i mean bronze statue of hawaii's most famous swimmer surfer and canoer (thats not a word, well it should be). but its not the statue that is most interesting it is also the pristine white sand beach of Waikiki where thousands of fat people get sunburned just for the hell of it.
2. a photo of myself taken by myself of myself pushing my sister on her surfboard (u are now think how the hell did Isaac do that)
one pleasant afternoon my sister goes for a surf and i go for a paddle on a board aka paddle boarding. my sister being the stubborn old horse she is decides that she needs to go on a hardboard longboard even though her arms don't really reach the edges and when she paddles only the tips of her fingers can reach the water but so be it. As one would think she found it difficult to paddle on to a wave and then guess what happened her supper nice brother stopped enjoying paddling around and instead pushed her onto waves ignoring the cuts on his feet from the reef (well now she can't say I'm mean).
3. lounging around by the pool doing nothing
Once in maui after a short drive and some shopping we arrive at our hotel and do what i love most. absolutely nothing. the perfect way to spend any holiday on the beach.
4. playing golf in the rain
as there is a first time some one will travel in time and a first time some one will get kill be a robot there will also be a first time for something much more boring for example golf (not as exiting) for me. it wasn't the most exiting of things but it was extremely satisfying hitting the bejeebeez out of them ballz (it also rained)
5. hiking up a mountain
so early one morning we drove to a place climbed up a mountain to look at water fall from the sky aka waterfalls (i guess water falls are somewhat pretty) (nothing a lazy person hates more than waking up early and then walking up a mountain)
6. walking down a mountain
late one morning we walked down a mountain past a car park to a swim in a lake/ waterfall (how am i spotted to know what the lake bit bellow a water fall is called) (i guess swimming is somewhat fun) (nothing a lazy person hates more then walking up and then down a stupid mountain) (why walk up in the first place)
7. driving
HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO RECREATE THAT WITHOUT A MINIATURE CAR
having a 4 wheel drive was unnecessary but it meant that we could go for drives so we did we drove to the aforementioned waterfall and golf and we drove around the island. we saw the dry side with beach on one side and sun baked hills on the other, the rainforest side with the most windy roads in the universe and with landslides here and there and almost every where and then the agriculture side with vineyards and fields and fog so it was very interesting
8. ziplining / jaws
we did some simple zip lining and then went to jaws (no not the movie the surf site) where it was one of the very few yearly days where there are 20-30 foot waves and all the famous surfers risked their lives for the thrill and the fame of surfing one of them monsters
9. dolphins and volcanos weird mix
once on the big island we did some dolphin meet and greet fun because we could touch them and see them but so fake cameras where there to record the thing for publicity (still fun but definitely fake) (not as good as swimming with them in the ocean for reals). then we went and flew over a couple volcanos and next to some waterfalls in a chopper which was very cool i couldn't stop speaking into my com system saying "BLACK EAGLE TO EAGLE EYE WE ARE COMING IN FOR LANDING DO U COPY" "EAGLE EYE TO BLACK EAGLE WE COPY LANDING BAY IS LOT 7 OVER" or "MAYDAY MAYDAY WE ARE COMING INTO HEAVY FIRE IMMEDIATE BACK UP NEEDED I REPEAT WE ARE UNDER HEAVY FIRE BACK UP NEEDED NOW". after that adventure with no enemy attacks and what not we went and stayed near a volcano with was also cool especially at night when an eery red glow escaped from the crater.
10. Hawaii 5-0
on our last day's few hours before our flight we decided to go to do the only thing saffron wanted to do in Hawaii, see the cast and crew. unfortunately that was impossible so instead we had a taxi take us around to all the sites of honolulu where they where now to shoot. so we went to the kamahamea statue (first king of Hawaii) near their HQ, the police station the hilton where we bought some memorabilia etc.
it probably wasn't as good as seeing them but i think saffron enjoyed it so alls well that ends well talking bout endings didn't i say thats when we left Hawaii oh right straight onto a plane to New York
