Got up 6:30 am. And it felt good. Lesson learned: Italian coffee power is the best. Our day started with light rain , nevertheless we hit the road to the western part of the island. A lot of beaches along the road. Of course we stopped by….

Return point was a roadblock and a sign which says “ your journey end’s here”. A supermarket was nearby for a banana and some beer jerky. In addition I bought a mobile phone holder for the car. The once I brought from home broke after 2 hrs usage under Hawaiian conditions. There and back we spent almost 3 hrs in the car, sometimes with some rain drops. Back to Haleiwa we found the city center overcrowded but a coffee was needed so we had no choice.

After having a discussion where to go now we decided to go on a beach close to our airbnb. Packed with Kona island lager beer, chips and guacamole and sandwiches and sausages the afternoon could start. Unfortunately there was no sunset but we had a relaxed time .

After a 6 hrs flight (with a short stop in Maui) our trip has found its final destination Honolulu international airport. We passed the covid screening in Maui already so we were allowed to move out of the airport immediately. Just because it saved me 700 $ we picked up the rental car in downtown and not at the airport. Taxi ride took a way too long but …. well. Lesson learned: drive slow on the island. And we got our car for the next days…

Our stay were easy to find, North shore Haleiwa Nice tiny house with outdoor kitchen and shower.

Very close to Haleiwa sunset park so of course a short walk was a must-do

And for dinner – seafood! what else if your are so close to the shores of the Pacific ocean. With a local beer finished we went straight to bed.
