Hawaii

After Pearl Harbor Lissy and I went to Germain's Luau Culture Culture Culture… Amazing evening - a Birthday I will remember for a long time 🙂 Somehow they found out that it is my birthday - I normally don't like to get up in front of I don't know how many people...

Visited Pearl Harbor with Lissy. I mean it is a must do in Hawaii, right? Was actually really interesting to get a bit history on my trip. The aviation museum was really interesting (well, I was more reminded of "Battlefield 1942" PC-Game 🙂 ) and the USS Arizona was...

On St. Patrick's Day Ed invited me to play at his club "Oahu Country Club", so we did on Wednesday. Again what a lovely course! And my game wasn't that bad at all!Another perfect day…. Thank you so much Ed!!! Ah - I nearly forgott: @Martin Pacher: He has a Iron 1 🙂 -...

Today I finally went diving in Hawaii. 2 dives and 3 Wrecks, quite effective 🙂 At some point there should be a video about it at the video section.Getting up at 7am… what a vacation…. After the dive I went for a burger to "Ted's Burger" - just sooo good. But...

That's traveling in style! Mr Frank Baker picked us up at Maui with his plane. So great. We flew by (really close) by the tallest sea cliffs in the world (Kalaupapa, Hawaii)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalaupapa,_Hawaii) The flight was amazing. We got some really...

what a nice (again private) golf course! One of the members: Clint Eastwood - so you might get an idea of how exclusive this one was… Giant jacuzzi and sauna (and of course many beers) afterwards. Life is sooooo good to me 🙂

OK. Martin P. really wanted to do this trip. Pools at Ohe'o or "seven sacred pools". We got up at 5:30am as it was a long drive. Not much milage - but you couldn't go fast. Well google said 2:20 minutes (which was exactely what it took us) - but other navigation...

Arrived in Maui today. What a nice flat again! www.honuakai.com/

After fishing - playing golf! Nice course. http://www.hiltonwaikoloavillage.com/resort_activities/kings_course.cfm After that a couple of Mai Thais at the Hilton...

Fishing on Big Island. Even though we only caught one fish (actually Martin P. pulled it) it was quite a nice morning (7am to 11am). Martin P. wasn't really feeling well (event though you might not see this on the pics), but he did a great job getting that Mahi Mahi...

Big Island!!! Yippi. So different. We took an early 8am flight to Kona. We met with Tim for a breakfast at "Taco del Mar" and then did a fantastic road trip. We drove by Mauna Kea to Hilo. There we saw another nice beach/trail. Then drove to Akaka Falls. Then to...

Hiking again 🙂 and then to Hanauma Bay Park for some swimming and snorkeling. Was snorkeling with BIIIIGGGG turtels and they were really close (didn't have my GoPro with me 🙁 )

Hiking with Ted and Ulf. A very hidden track around the ridge near his house. Not just did we have nice views but we were also the only ones as this is a track only locals know of. Thanks Ted :)You can get a nice view of Teds house while we were on the opposite site...

Road Trip around Oahu. First some nice beaches (a lot of them!) - then we continued to Waimea Falls. Nice botanic garden and then we had a swim in the falls. Really refreshing. Then we had a late lunch at Haleiwa and then returned to Waimea Beach for fighting some big...

Beer Cruise (or Booze Cruise) Going for the sunset on a catamaran - with "all you can drink" - what a fantastic idea 🙂

Hiking Day (after being back at Teds house) In the morning a short hike to the top of the mountain just next to Teds house. Nice view from there. Then we got our rental car and made our way to "Manoa Falls".

Ted invited us to play golf on the course he is member of (private). A bit difficult (holds the Sony Open in Hawaii) but what a fun day! My score wasn't that great - but at least I had many beers and a lot of fun :)I'm normally not a "Beach Guy" - but apparently I...

2 days at Waikiki Beach. Staying at a really nice appartment directly on the beach (some of the pictures are from the balcony of this amazing appartment). Enjoying the sun, the water, the sand and everything else 🙂 Really hard to put the fun we had into writing !
