Hotel Views & 1st day to North Shore

Hotel we stayed at. Was very nice, definitely would recommend it.

Views from our hotel Balcony. The dark part in the ocean is actually coral reef. We stayed on the Waikiki Beach, which is about a 20 minute drive from Honolulu.
More views, notice the surf boards next to the other hotel. They gave surfing lessons right outside our hotel.

Here is some pictures from our drive up to the North Shore of Oahu. This side of the island was was prettier, and more relaxing than Waikiki. Their were less tourists, and more locals here. I took this picture while we were driving along one of the main highways. It was amazing how close we were to the ocean while we were driving. Almost scary, actually.

Picture of us on one of the beaches. All the pictures of us were taken by Sam holding up the camera, or us setting the timer which required a flat rock, etc., so if the poses are all the same, Sorry!

View from the highway. (Opposite of the ocean, obviously) :)
These are pictures of a beach we stopped at on the North Shore. The waves were HUGE and extremely violent, and their were warning signs posted all along the shore.

Thank goodness for flat rocks to hold our camera on!!

A really cool picture that Sam took!
