Another incredible day to remember! And not just because Clare and I were celebrating fourteen years of togetherness. The feeling of surfing a longboard right across the bay of Waikiki beach on a gently peeling, green, glassy wave will stay with me for a long time!
Over on the west side of the island, the beach is very different - with skyscrapers lining the beach. It felt like a whole new island and very exciting.
This is generally regarded as the birth place of surfing and there are tributes and statues everywhere of famous surfers.
We spent a fantastic few hours out in the waves, which despite reviews to the contrary, were relatively uncrowded. There were plenty of waves to get and all a mellow 1 to 2 foot high. Perfectly formed and easy to catch, we rode many side by side, whooping as we went!
It was an exhausting session (first of the year for me!) and the sun beat down on us too! Once we got out, we showered on the beach then went straight in search of food.
We found the perfect beach side restaurant to celebrate in and met the others for delicious cocktails and a late lunch.
After a delicious feed, we had a walk along the high street, which is adorned with amazing hotels and designer shops. We passed a few nice cars along the way too!
And this nice looking hotel.
Everyone got souvenir t-shirts after a bit of shopping, then before the daylight ended, we walked back towards the car to go for a sunset snorkel.
The water felt really warm and the setting sun made the whole experience even more incredible.
After spotting plenty of tropical fish, we stood and watched the colours change over Waikiki.
A magic finish and a wonderful way to celebrate fourteen years of making memories like this together...
