A much needed relaunch - No words, more pictures

Giant's Causeway

Oahu, Hawaii

I spent the last five days on Oahu. Beautiful, yet ultra-touristy. Here are some impressions.

Waikiki Beach Sunset

4th of July Fireworks

Stairs at Iolani Palace in Honolulu

Dining table at the only palace on American soil

They had electric lights installed before Buckingham Palace

And also showers and flushing WCs before everyone else.

Beautiful curtains

The throne room

Wine and Dine me...

At Pearl Harbor

Hawaiian flowers

View from a pompous,  yet creepy Mormon temple.

Sunset over Waikiki buildings

On Diamond Head

Just an example that the word "Aloha" is excessively used

View from my beach mat upwards

This particular beach seemed to be popular for weddings. The Japanese groom looks a bit stiff though.
