Waikiki, Honolulu, HI - Sat, 9 Apr, 2022, 8am
We awoke easily this morning, even before my alarm rang at 6:45am. Hawaii doesn't observe Daylight Saving Time, so by 6am the sun was blazing through our windows facing east and south. I lazed just a little longer in bed before pulling on clothes and heading downstairs to the breakfast room.
The breakfast room at this hotel is huge. We'd seen that last night. Fortunately, also, it has 4 or 5 serving lines to help keep everyone moving quickly. And at 7am it was already busy. I presume lots of people are interested in starting the day early, as we are. We grabbed some food then sat at a table outdoors on the patio beneath the shade of several palm trees.
Back up at the room on the 36th floor I grabbed a few pictures before we headed out for the day.
This picture (above) is the view southeast across Waikiki. You can see the ocean on the right. In the distance at the center is Diamond Head.
The view northeast across the mountains (above) is interesting, too. They're covered by clouds as they usually are. It's interesting how with the sharp changes in elevation on this small island you can really see the microclimates. Hopefully we'll remain in sunny & clear ones as we head north to Ka'ena Point today.
