Wasn't quiet sure what to make of Hawaii at first, arrived at our hostel after travelling all day wrecked tired, slept for 12 hrs straight that nite. Staying in a hostel across the road from Waikiki Beach, very basic but location couldn't be better! Woke next day and just headed straight to the beach, and probably slept for another few hours ;) Palm trees...check...sun...check....nice restaurants...check....surfing....nope! Waves were non-existant being honest,seen more down Garryvoe ;) We only stayed around Waikiki and they were saying that the North Shore was the place to go to get the big waves. Couldn't believe the amount of people around the place, crawling with Americans, Canadians, Japanese and Chinese. My first time being in the states,but christ are some of them big people! Only trip we did was to go see Pearl Harbour, a free trip organised by the hostel which was grand. Waikii Beach was a bit too much like the Costa Del Sol for me (Americans replacing the Irish), but few days lying down on beach was grand sure.
Got into San Fran. last nite, and being going a bit mad on a shopping trip all day,just back in hotel now, hotel is some change from staying in hostels and tents I can tell ya. With all shopping we've done, we're going to have to buy a suitcase as well for definate, backpacks are already stuffed. Tomorrow going doing the Alcatraz trip and only a few days here till its time to pack bags and fly back to Cork, where have the last 4 months gone?
Mite be the last post i'd say,so I guess I'll see ye all soon folks,
Kevin
