Honolulu, Oahu (Part 4)






On our second day in Honolulu we discovered that weather in Hawaii was not always picture perfect.  We began our day with a climb to the top of the Diamond Head trail.  The overcast weather turned out to be a blessing as it kept the temps cooler for our walk.  At the top we were able to get contrasting views of the shoreline to one side and views of the city from another.  Following our walk we intended to drive along the coastline up to the northern shore.  We made it around the scenic southeastern end and were on a drive northward when the clouds opened and torrential rains fell.  The rains were so heavy that roads quickly flooded blocking the highway. With great reluctance we turned around and headed back to the city.
