feels a bit like home. Yesterday (Sunday) was spend with Adam White, a tour guide that we also traveled with on our previous trip. Adam is a surfer, photographer, free diver and boat captain. On top of all that Adam is a great story teller.
We toured around probably three quarters of the island and I am always amazed at the variety. From the tourist chaos that is Waikiki to the solemnity of the Byodo-In temple, Oahu has it all.
Surfing is king here and with surfing comes a certain lifestyle. That laid-back, living-in-the-moment way of life is something I admire. Being a surfer, Adam's tour definitely had a water focus. The shoreline here is comparable to any in the state and we took it all in through many stops including Diamondhead lookout, Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach (known as Breakneck Beach due to the many injuries that have occurred there) and of course the famous North Shore where the monster waves crash. On this day, though, things were fairly calm.
We stopped in Haleiwa Town for a break and headed back to our home away from home.
Next stop: Pearl Harbor.
