The first couple of days the weather was pretty nice and so we stayed close to home enjoying the amenities of the house we are renting while here. It is right on the beach although there is coral reef just off shore that makes swimming difficult directly in front, but we do not have to walk too far down the beach to find better swimming conditions.
One affect of the nearby reefs is the constant roar of the surf as it crashes over them. But that is a white noise that masks much of the traffic noise as the inland side of the house is right on he local major highway.
Here is a picture of the street side of the house showing the van we have rented to get us around.
Monday we had planned to make a day trip to the Big Island of Hawaii but the tour group I booked us with couldn't accommodate us so we ended up cancelling. And it was a good thing as this wet system arrived that day and it was showers all day. So we made a trip into Honolulu to see Waikiki beach, tour the Iolani palace, home of Hawaiian royalty until a coup d'état in the late 1800's by American business interests supported by the US government of the time. And Canadian Indians think they have been treated badly!
And here is a picture of the girls in front of the statue of the first King, Kamehameha I.
That's enough for now as we are about ready for breakfast! I will add more a little later!
