I was invited to go up to the north shore and surf which I really had been wanting to do. I had body boarded at Waikiki on prior days and the surf was slow rolling and crowded.
On the way there we went past, but did not stop at the Dole plantation.
This is Waimea bay state park. and the picture above is the Waimea valley ...... so awesome looking.

The picture below is my surf group. from left to right. Bryan(San Fran.) Tamara, & Phoebe Darling (Australia) and of course ME.
I had no problem surfing, I got up and rode my first attempt. I was so exhausted though. Note to self; work out before you go next time.
This is a girl from Austria named Nathalie. Everyday she would ask me what I was going to do and I would tell her. Then in her Austrian accent she would say "Den may I join you" It was great . We are at sunset beach . Notice the turtle in the background. 
We all headed back to crowded Waikiki and had dinner at Fatty's Korean in the international marketplace. This was the best day so far, and we have a good one planned for tomorrow. Don't be surprised if I go there again before the year is out. I loved backpacking, hosteling, and getting to know other cultures. I'm hooked!!!!Look for more pictures when They get E-mailed from my Aussie friends.

The north shore is so cool. Did you, by chance, get to drive by the temple over there?
NO ,I guess I'll just have to go back soon. I should have went days 1-4 though.
Matt - holy crap those pictures made me jealous. They gave me a nice vicarious jolt of sunshine, though, which was more than welcome on these grey German days. Mach's gut!
Next time you go...den may I go with you???
I meant ...den may I join you???
