Vacation Memories No Makeup

This is going to be a quick recap of what my vacation in Oahu, Hawaii was like. The weather was a bit temperamental and was quick bursts of strong wind and rain mixed with sunshine. I felt like such a tourist there because the locals were wearing long sleeved shirts and jeans while I was wearing everything short. Tried to blend in but it was too humid and hot to even try. I also couldn't zip up my fat pants by the end of the trip and had my jeans unbuckled during the flight back home. Why did I insist on wearing skinny jeans? 

Just to let you know, most of my time was spent with my aunt who lives in Honolulu and we really didn't do much. We went hiking and exploring the scenery more than anything else. I also didn't take many pictures, so bear with my quick recap.

There was a Japanese festival during my stay and since I knew that the Japaneses population is large in Hawaii, I decided to have a look. 

 These older ladies were dancing to choreographed music. I don't know much but they were so adorable. Do you know what's better?

Children playing drums to traditional music. The tiny child at the mid-end was so damn cute. 

Walked around Waikiki beach and saw the tail end of a hula show.

Saw a Nature's Republic and bought some face masks. I regret not getting anything else but honestly,  my skin was horrible and skincare and makeup were the last things on my mind.

Climbed up the horrible vertical steps to the endpoint of Diamond Head.

Also went driving and went past Hanauma Bay for some great sightseeing and pictures.

This was taken near the same spot and look at the difference in the color of the water.

I was planning to hike up to that lighthouse and we got lost. Instead, we ended up in some tiny beach that had a lot of people coming to surf. The water looked a bit too dangerous for us, the non swimmers, so we opted out and looked to hike up the lighthouse trail.

Finally made it to the top and saw some dude para-sailing  I'd be too scared because it seemed that there was no mechanism to help him get down. Imagine him being still stuck up there. 

We also went to the North Shore and drove around but instead of worrying about the pictures, I wanted to enjoy myself. Hopefully the brain won't putter out too early and I'll remember this in my old age. by the way, Look!

Tasted nothing like Spam. Lies and overpriced at the Dole Plantation. Will be back to more reviews later and until then, peace out everybody.
