Hawaii Vaca, Post 8 - Dinner and Waikiki Beach

After a fairly long day of buses, boats, buttheads (they seem to be everywhere!!!),  tours and the whatnot, we got back to the hotel to crash for a little bit. A little bit was all we got before two little ankle-biting-ham-n-eggers started chirping for the evening feed.

Where to go...  where to go?

We first went for a short walk around the "neighborhood" but it's freakin' hot and humid in Hawaii and I didn't want to walk too far to risk...  well, I didn't want to walk to far when I'm German and out of shape, shall we say?  I get sweaty fast.  Let's leave it at that!

So we went around a few blocks and saw a few different restaurants that could have worked but nobody would agree on them so we went back to our hotel and had supper at Lulu's Waikiki.  It's one hotel away from ours so we know it's close and easy to get back to the beach as Robby has demanded for our final night in Honolulu.  

Apparently, everybody in Hawaii loves being hot and sweaty because every dang place you go is open air!  The stores and gift shops?  Open air.  The hotel lobbies?  Open air.  Starbucks?  Open air.  Restaurants? Open air.

So we find ourselves at Lulu's.  Nothing fancy but it is nice to just sit and relax instead of the constant on-the-go that earlier today has brought.  My sister, Doris Brunnette, had stated in a facebook post a day or two prior, that I should have a "fancy" drink for her while we're here.  Apparently, craft beer is NOT fancy enough for her and as such, Lesley and Rob ordered Lava Flow's.  One virgin, one not so much.

A view out the "window" from our table.  I must say, if everything is going to be open-air, you may as well have views like this!

We decided to walk over to Waikiki beach after dinner and since we had to pass our hotel again, as with the Tiki restaurant in our hotel, I took a picture of it simply because I could.

Not sure why, but sunsets in pictures just aren't anywhere near as beautiful as they are in person.  This one is no exception!

Our hotel again, but this time with 3 fine humans placed in front of it...  oh sure, due to the lighting, you can't really tell who those three humans are, but trust me on this one.  It's my family!

Artsy-fartsy pic of the day.

...and one more before we leave it all behind.

That was Honolulu and the island of O'ahu.  We didn't have a car so there was much that was left unexplored.  Until next time, that is...
