Day 3 took us back to Waikiki. Armed with our list of touristy things to do, we set off for our first attraction – the Diamond Head Crater. It was smart we decided to do the climb the first thing in the morning, or else we would have roasted trying to make our way to the top in the scorching sun.

Picking off from second day we were in Hawaii. It seems it had something to do with these: I’ll backtrack a little first. Hehehe. +++ The first stop we made the next morning was to the car rental.

The ride took about an hour, and we were chatting about everything from Arashi to HK films. Later…
