I ❤ Hawaii - Part VI (Kailua & Byodo-In Temple)

Tuesday, April 13, 2010

The last blog post for Hawaii, how I wish the trip never ended so I can still sitting under Moana Surfrider 100 year old banyan tree sipping the fresh coconut juice.

Perhaps I was too sick to feel anything while I was there, but looking at all the photos we took really makes me wanna visit Hawaii for one more time.

Kailua Beach, ranked one of the world's most beautiful beaches, is breathtakingly beautiful...

Unfortunately the windy day spoiled our moods T_____T

I don't have a nicely taken photo, but Chean does, thank god.

And thank god again for giving me such a fragile body, I caught a cold by just standing at the beach for 20 mins. I can't think of anything that could possibly be worse than this @.@

But that's our last day, we needed to explore the rest of Oahu as much as we can! So we went to a less windy and much quiet place. Guess nothing can be more zen than temple right?

88 Tee. Good place for vintage and authentic tee hunting if you don't mind paying US$ 20-30 for a t-shirt.

Guess who shopped there before? Ayumi Hamasaki and Vivi mag models ❤❤

We chose to stay at the pink palace Royal Hawaiian initially, but changed our mind after reading all the so-so comments online.

HawaiiIV_RH
It's pink, that's all. Period. Moana Sufrider is more elegant and classy :D

HawaiiIV_beach_me
Wind ah wind, can you stop messing up my hair?

HawaiiIV_beach_chean+me
Of course the wind won't listen to me. Bah...

The Kailua Beach is truly one of the most romantic beaches of the world. It has a lot of appeal and attraction for visitors. The Japanese temple is a quiet and relaxing place to visit.

Hi Giny,
From F21 :)

Hi MingC,
lol. Cause Hawaii is the second home for Japanese ^____^ and the temple is actually located right next to the Japanese cemetery. Z.E.N

Hi sai ling,
Haha... Cause I took it on a higher ground, not along the shore. And that's not a double yolk egg, it's simple T.W.O eggs but cook as one :)


Hi all,
Thank you for all the comments A.G.A.I.N :D Hawaii is truly a paradise! Mark this place in your must-visit list ^____^
