After 5 long seasick days at sea {hence delay in my blogs) we finally awoke to a beautiful sunrise over Honolulu. It was so GOOD to see land again. This is a very beautiful place - warm, sunny and welcoming. We had a good excursion trip to many parts of the island of Oahu and continued on to a very moving visit to Pearl Harbour.
The highlight of our day was to meet up with my nephew Robin who I have not seen for nine years, and his new wife Wendy who greeted us with two exquisite "lei" of fresh orchids. We spent a wonderful afternoon with them on Waikiki Beach in the hotel where they had been married drinking "Maitai" delicious rum cocktails whilst being serenaded by Hawaiian musicians with the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. Heaven!
A very special day.

ReplyDeleteSo lots of walking on deck in the fressh sea air is going to be needed to combat the old mal de mer, hopefully you will get your 'sea legs' after a while. I have just seen some snow flakes, Thought you would like to know !Enjoy the warmth, I presume you can now sunbathe on your balcony. Enjoy ! LOL Jackie and Nik xxx
Oh that sounds awesome! Apart from the sea sickness of course! I'm desperate to see pictures of the trip see what it's like inside your cabin!
