"How's it going wall" I found myself saying as I opened my curtains and the blank wall opposite my veranda appeared! Well, it does have its advantages, I don't have to worry about wandering around in a state of undress...
I have spend a most enjoyable evening watching a movie on the beach with hundreds of other locals. It was a Johnny Depp pirate film. On the way back to my hotel a group of young people were performing on the street, kick boxing, Hawaii is packed to the seams because of Labour Day, everyone is out for a good time.
I seem to be falling in lucky. Without planning an itinary I came across a man explaining the history of Hawaii, I asked if I could join the group and he said that I could. He was funny and very informative.
I then saw people sitting by the side of the road. I asked a few why they were there,the first couple didn't know, they were just sitting there because everyone else was sitting on the pavement. Sure enough though 10 minutes later there was a parade. The local societies, mayor and government officials drove and walked down the road, smiling and waving to the crowd. It was colourful and reflected the happy feel about the place.
