Our coverage for this last week.
Sun just disappearing over the horizon from our balcony.
Full sunset
Close up full sunset
Relaxing watching the last of the sunset as it goes down.
Large Lolly shop in the Ala Moana centre. Kids would go mad here. I didn’t go in just stood at the door. The shop is way bigger than what shows in the photo. I went here looking for the massive kitchen shop that was here. Must have struggle through Covid as it is no longer. It was a great shop.
Above and below are the Hilton Hotel Friday night fireworks display on the beach where we swim. The Friday night show is every Friday at 8.00pm has been going for as long as we know. Years.
Just another day in paradise
At the beginning of the week we took the No. 67 bus over to Kailua on the windward side on the east coast. What a lovely area we have never been out there. So neat, clean and tidy. Above, the gardens outside of this eating place.
Just walked out of the town centre heading down to see the beach.
Passing lovely town houses with neat and tidy gardens.
After quite a long very hot walk out of town we arrived at Kailua Beach. What a great area and a beautiful beach. Nice trade winds blowing in which relieved us from the hot streets we had just walked through to get here. Some of these photos haven’t come out too sharp, all a bit cloudy. I was wondering if my bag was so hot that my hot phone affected it. Looking north along the beach.
Looking south. With the trade winds makes it a very popular beach with the wind surfers.
There was some shade under the trees so sat down after our hot walk after melting to watch the action. Just beautiful.
Some more sunsets during the week.
This is the nearest canal to us which brings all the water down to the sea from the mountains up behind Waikiki. Its half way between our hotel and Ala Moana centre hence we cross it many times on our morning walks to pick up supplies, or just wandering around the shops.
Here we are waiting for the cross lights. The main intersection just along from the hotel. These are the buses we use if too far to walk called The Bus. Great service and just $1.25 for seniors per ride to go as far as you like on any route you like. I think that fare is more for the locals but they have always let us in. Hotel in the middle is the Ilikai from street view. This shows the Y shape it is. The right wing is the seaward side going out which is the stork of the Y. The two wings on the street side are the two top wings of the Y shape.
Across from our hotel standing around the Boat Harbour looking back at our building. The red circle on the left is where we are. On the right is where we were last year. This is the side we have been on over several years. The left is where we used to go when we first came up here. Decided to give it another go here this year a bit of a different outlook more looking straight out to sea. The right side looks more down and along the coast.
A night shot looking down over our balcony.
Many of the Japanese couples come to the Ilikai to get married. Taken just outside the pool area. They usually then go down on the beach for more photos.

This is the beach where we swim in front of the Hilton complex.
This is the Lagoon we walk around to get to the swimming beach in above photo. Our Hotel is behind me. The beach is over behind the far palm trees, you can just see the sea in the distance. The lagoon is very popular with the little kids.
