After a wonderful week on the island of Maui we then flew over to Oahu and drove north to Laie where we had rented another beautiful house.
The house had a pool overlooking Puehuehu Bay
The pool water was around 83 degrees but felt nice
By getting up early every morning I had the chance to read

| On our side of the point our house was a rocky shoreline but a 2 minute walk to the other side brought us to this beach |

Driving back we stopped at Waimea Bay
to take a look at the Banzai Pipeline where the surfers tackle the big waves. It was such a calm beach I asked a local where were the big waves and he told me we were there the wrong time of year, that it was during the winter when they surf here.
It was a short walk back to the top of the beach
