Day 2 - Blogabond

After breakfast, Barbara and I rented scooters and drove up the coast to Kailua Beach. We had wanted to go further, but it was slow going and gas looked to be a problem. The scenery was beautiful -- we passed many nice little bays and coves along the way although the road was sometimes narrow and cars would pass at a rapid speed, honking all the way. Kailua itself was an okay beach, certainly not the prettiest we passed, but very local (except for the windsurfing lessons) and fairly quiet -- we stayed there a few hours.

We took the inland route back -- hwy 61 -- which winds its way through the mountains. Even more dangerous than 72 but worth it -- the scenery was classic Hawaii, very lush and tropical. We took a side road to Pali lookout, also very pretty. We finally got back to Waikiki (after almost ending up on the freeway) and took well-needed showers and made arrangements to go scuba diving and sailing the following day.
