OAHU TO BIG ISLAND

Aloha to Oahu and a swift flight of 45 minutes to Big Island, one small hiccough - Roy left his newly acquired straw hat on the shuttle bus!
We collected our rental car, could not start it, married to a mechanic/HGV driver and we spent 10 minutes with this Nissan Altima with no joy. Went back to ask and found out these modern cars do not need a key (come back Dodge!) then got part way down the road to find it was not changing gears. Went back and was shown how to position the gear stick, Roy had been putting it in hill position. Success and finally drove the short distance to our beautiful hotel. 

Had a stroll along the shops, a great meal at Bungo Bills - I am now hooked on Mai Tais!
On way back we have booked for our helicopter flight over the lava flows for Monday!

I've put some more photos on Pearl Harbor entry as didn't have time before, we havent stopped since we arrived!
Last morning in Waikiki

Roy is going to train Max to do this
