Now, back to Hawaii. We loved to take long walks. At this time we weren't renting any cars because parking would have cost more than the ordinary rental. So, we walked a lot.
One of our favorite streets was Kalakaua Avenue. This street is lined with high scale stores, boutiques, jewelry stores and whatever else one can buy for a lots of money.
Harry Winston diamonds, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Coach, Hermes etc. Looking at these stores I came to the conclusion that these are not for us plain American tourists. They are exclusively for the foreigners and primarily for the Oriental visitors.
The street is beautiful but it looks like a large caribbean cruise stop with all the stores there. Don't misunderstand, we enjoyed it immensely even though it felt we were in the minority.
The healthy aspect of it was that we walked and walked. Meaning that eating a lot didn't make us guilty because we eventually walked most of it off.
Overall experience of Hawaii is great. There are a lot of things to see, good food to eat and I find the people very friendly.
I always thought the ocean was wild nd that was what the surfers like but there are areas where the water is calm and very transparent. A snorkelers dream.
Can't wait to get back again, long flight or not.
