The day started off looking bad with tons of clouds, but by about 1 p.m. the blue skies appeared. Here we're headed toward Haleiwa. Look at that sky people! Wow, this is why we live in Hawaii.
Lots of trees along the side of the road and no retouching the blueness of the sky. Spectacular no?
Here's the view toward Waialua and Camp Erdman.
After Haleiwa, the land opened up and there were some ranches with grazing horses. There was quite a bit of traffic on the road. I guess other people had the same idea as us.
Just past Waimea, I saw this cool-looking van. Apparently Vishnu has some influence on the surf?
Somewhere along the road we pulled over to take a peek at the surf. It wasn't exactly huge but big enough that it was causing traffic.
There were high surf warnings out and even yellow tape preventing pedestrians from going onto the beach. Obviously not everyone listened to this.
The surf looked choppy and we didn't see anyone out there.
Continuing along our round-the-island journey, we approached Chocolate (Kahana) Beach. It didn't look to chocolately today so I suppose that means it hasn't rained in a while.
Here's the turn right before Crouching Lion. Despite living on Oahu my entire life, I still have yet to visit this place. It seems very peaceful since it's in the middle of nowhere.
We made it all the way to Kuuloa Ranch area. Here's the view of the mountain range towering over the ranch. Again, the sky is just as it was. No tampering with Photoshop. Simply lovely.
And here's the famous Chinaman's Hat. We saw a couple of people out in the water fishing but no kayakers today.
As we headed closer toward town, we crossed paths with Rabbit Island. By this time, it was getting a little bit later and the blueness of the sky was fading.
All in all it was a nice change of pace and a great way to spend the day off from work.
