Oahu










OAHU...
Well after having spent a few days in Maui we heading to Oahu for a week. We decided to rent a car for 4 days and check out the sights outside of where we were staying in waikiki.. this proved to be the best part of our trip as we could go and check out the sights at our leisure as well check out those hidden sight that you cant see without a car.
our days were spent checking out different beach parks around oahu.. One of the highlights of the trip was checking out the Northshore known for its world famous surf spots-Haliewa,Waimea Bay, Pipeline and Sunset Beach.. We were lucky that there was abit of a swell up and pipeline was pumping.. probably the most primo waves i have ever seen.. just amazing..and had me buzzing about it for a couple of days..

Also while up at the Northshore we checked out the Polynesian Cultural Center which had different villages from throughout the pacific..we checked out the Aotearoa Village.. the had abit of a powhiri for vistors and we walked on with a group.. it abit touristy though.. but sweet as.. they had abit of a whaikorero.. and they had a group preform some waiatas... heck a couple of the bros got me to jump up with them to blast out Tika Tonu..Doitz!!!! that was cool and it was like i was back home...all in all it was a cool day

On xmas eve we checked out a first American football game.. we went to watch Hawaii Uni vs Arizona State Uni.. this was an awesome day and it was abit different not really knowing the rules, but it we had a great time and soaked up the atmostsphere and the buzz of gridiron..

Xmas... well this was our 3rd xmas away from home and we had a really cool time just chilling at the beach and going surfing which was cool.. also we did abit of bodyboarding which was primo and abit easier than surfing..That night we had a our Xmas dinner just me and chanel.. at first we thought we would go to a nice place for dinner...we went to a all you can eat place..heck asked them how much it costs and hello.. the say 130 bucks.. so hello we walk and find a all you can eat place that costed only 15 dollars and was a mean fed....so i hope every had a good xmas...

The next day we spent bodyboarding for most of the day and chilling at the beach....On our last day we hired a car and went to the Leeward side of the island and just chilled at the beach.. after awhile we decided to cruise back to te Northshore and check out Pipeline one more time.. this was an awesome way to end our holiday...
Hawaii is a Beautiful place and is a great place to relax, unwind and has some of the most Beautiful beaches in the world.. All in all it was a primo trip and it was sad to leave...
