Honolulu – Waikiki

The car rental company had a surprise for us. The “similar” in “Category C: ICAR: Toyota Corolla or similar” turned out to be a sportive Chevrolet Camaro (cabriolet). What a difference after four weeks in a clumsy campervan!

We didn’t use it much that day, though, but searched our hotel in Waikiki and explored this part of Honolulu. Not surprisingly, we soon landed on the famous Waikiki Beach.

But we had to agree to our guide claiming it to be a quite overrated place. Indeed: the beach is mostly man-made, partially with imported sand. The towels are close to each other. And actually, most of the guys are here just for selfies and not for relaxing. But maybe we’re just a bit spoiled from Fiji (29°C water temperature, natural corals…). And having a cold drink at the bar is much better than complaining. 🙂

From our bed & breakfast we had to drive till Townsville. In between, we did:
• Walked around crater lake Lake Eacham and saw a turtle
• Did the waterfall drive (Millaa Millaa, Zillie and Ellinjaa)
• Wandered in and above(!) rain forest at Mamu Tropical Skywalk
• Did nothing at Mission Beach (“Oops, still 3 hours till Townsville?!?”)
• Watched a vehicle parade of old-timers and tuned cars in Townsville
