9/1 - third day in Oahu
Amazig day. I know I start every post with this, but it truly was a great one!
After waking up and having breakfast we straight went to the bus station, that took us to the Royal Hawaiian Center. It is a giant shopping center with tons of shop ls in it, but it is the most gorgeous one I've ever seen. It's built around nature, and as you walk you can see the trees in the middle of the center, the flowers, everything. It's wonderful and soo refreshing! First of all, at 10 we took a hula dancing class. It was amazing! I enjoyed it so much, it was definitely the most uplifting event of the day. After it was over I took a picture with the teacher, and when I went up to her she said that I was the best of the class, my hand movements were amazing, and that I looked like someone who dances hula for years. There are no words to describe how proud I was of myself...
Then we went up to the 3rd floor and learned how to give hawaiian massage to someone. We were practicing on each other with Chloe and it was really relaxing, I think I'll use it at home, too.
Then we waited an hour for the Lei making class, and it was sooo worth it! The lady told us a bit about Hawai'i's history and then gave us a frangipani plumeria flower from her own garden! She was soo lovely! Then we got realy flowers and sewed our own lei. It was load s of fun and if we water them daily then they can hold up to a week! Yaaay ♡
We were generally really proud of our productive morning. Then we went back to the hostel to have instant noodle soup for lunch and then we changed to our bikinis we left. To sneak in to a fancy hotel's pool, because we were sick of sand sticking to us everywhere. I was quite amused with us not being caught, to be fair. It was great! And since we went in the afternoon, the sun was not burning, but it was still nice and warm, we could actually enjoy sunbathing while listening to quiet live music.
We left around 6:30 to have a shower and get ready. After we put our leis on, flower in our hair and everything, we were walking on the streets with lots of cofidence, like locals.... Felt like we were part of Waikiki. We got on the bus and after like 5 minutes of travelling we got off and found the Hula Grill and Bar place that we were looking for. We had to wait for our table, so we sat in the bar and decided what to drink. I have no clue about the names but they both were delicious, and Chloe's got a backscratcher with it! While drinking our coctails, we were listening to two guys -HUSBAND!- playing live music. Justin Bieber, The lion king... all the good things, and they were really good! -I would like to mention that one of the musicians smiled at me and I smiled back! This is a huge step for me so I was really proud of myself. "He's hawai'ian and a musician! That's my type!"- And also, a guy who was sitting next to us was having his meal and he had garlic bread with this sauce and told us to try it, so we did and it was like heaven!
Eventually we got our table - we didn't have to wait for too long- and we sat down. The lady was so lovely, she kept asking if everything is okay, if we needed something. We ordered our food -out of our comfortzone. I ate carbonara with giant shrimps and Chloe got fish, but it was delicious- and then we were just chatting and laughing. We talked to the waitress -because I am seriously thinking about moving here- and she said that she loves it here, she loves working there and there are lots of furnitured apartments in a quite cheap price so yaaaay.
After we were done eating - and didn't pay for our drinks- we got on the bus and walked to the beach to chill there a bit because the weather at night is just perfect for a walk... ♡
Fantasztikus nap! Tudom, hogy mindegyik blogbejegyzest ezzel kezdem, de ez a nap tenyleg iszonyatosan jo volt.
Ebredes es reggeli utan egybol a buszmegallohoz mentunk, amire immar profikkent szalltunk fel, es elbovliztunk a Royal Hawaiian Centerhez, ami rgy hatalmas bevasarlokozpont. Es valoszinuleg a legszebb, amit valaha lattam. A termeszet kore epult, tehat ahogy setaltunk, hopp, itt egy fa, hopp, ott egy rakas virag. Gyonyoru es udito volt!
Elsokent 10 orakor reszt vettunk egy hula tancoran, ami fantasztikus volt! Elveztem minden egyes masodpercet, szerintem a nap legfelemelobb elmenye volt. Amikor vege lett, a tanarhoz erve kertem egy kozos kepet, aztan nagyon megdicsert. Azt mondta, hogy en tancoltam a legszebben, a kezmozdulataim nagyon termeszetesek es gyonyoruek voltak, es, hogy ugy neztem ki, mint aki mar evek ota tancol hulat. Nincsenek szavak, mennyire buszke voltam magamra.
Ezutan felmentunk a harmadik emeletre, ahol megtanultunk egy hawai'i masszazs technikat, amit egymason gyakoroltunk es tanultunk meg Chloeval. Nagyon relaxalo volt, szerintem otthon is hasznalni fogom.
Ezt kovetoen vartunk egy orat, hogy keszithessunk viragfuzert -lei-, de nagyon megerte a varakozast. A holgy meselt rgy kicsit Hawai'i tortenelmerol, majd mindenkinek adott egy-egy frangipani plumeria viragot a sajat kertjebol! Hat mennyire edes mar! Vegul elkeszitettuk a sajat viragkoszorunkat -a bevasarlokozpont altal biztositott fantasztikusan szep es illatozo viragokbol! -. Nagyon jo buli volt ees ami meg jobb, ha eendesen ontozzuk a viragokat, akar 1 hetig is kitartanak! Hurra! ♡
Ugy osszessegeben igazan buszkek voltunk a produktiv reggelunkre.
3 ora korul visszatertunk a szallasra, higy egyunk egy zacsko zacskos levest ebedre, majd bikinibe bujtunk.
Megpedig azert, hogy belogjunk egy nagyon allat hotel uszodajaba. Ugyanis mostanra meguntuk, higy a homok mindenkova odaragad! Igazan lenyugozott, hogy nem kaptak el minket, es nagyon jo volt a medenceben uszni majd napozni. Es ami meg jobb, mivel delutan mentunk, meg meleg volt, de a nap mar nem egetett, igy elvezni is tudtuk a napozast a halk elozene mellett.
Olyan fel 7 korul visszatertunk a szallasra hogy zuhanyozzunk, atoltozzunk, aztan, miutan feltuztuk a viragot a hajunkba es a viragkoszorut a nyakunkba, olyan onbizalommal setaltunk Waikiki utcain, mint a helyiek. Felszalltunk a buszra, aztan ugy 5 percnyi buszozas utan leszalltunk es megkerestuk a Hula Grill and Bar ettermet. Mivel varni kellett az asztalinunkra, ezert leultunk a barban es megrendeltuk az italainkat. Fogalmam sincs a nevukrol, de allati finomak voltak es Chloe-ehoz jart egy fa hatvakaro! Mig iszogattunk, figyeltuk, hogy ket srac -FERJ!- elo zenet jatszanak rs enekelnek. Borzaszto ugyesek voltak, volt ott Justin Bieber meg Oroszlankiraly is, csupa jo muzsika. -Itt muszaj megemlitenem, hogy az egyik zenesz srac ram mosolygott es ahelyett, hogy elfordultam volna, visszamosolyogtam! Ez egy hatalmas elorelepes nalam, ugyhogy buszke voltam magamra. "A srac hawai'i es zenesz! Pont a zsanerem!!" - Valamint, a mellettunk ulo srac felajanlotta, hogy kostoljuk meg a fokhagymas kenyeret ilyen szosszal, es mennyei volt!
Vegul rovid varakozas utan elfoglaltuk az asztalunkat a teraszon. A felszolgalo holgy borzaszto kedves volt, allandoan jott es kerdezte, hogy minden rendben van-e, szuksegunk van-e valamire eeees atunk 2 adag ingyen kenyeret!! Vegul rendeltunk -a komfortzonabol kilepve en carbonara tesztat rendeltem hatalmas garnelakkal, Chloe pedig isteni finom halat evett. Mindketto helyi kaja- es csak ultunk es beszelgettunk es nevettunk. Beszelgettunk a felszolgalo holggyel is -ugyanis komolyan gondolkodom rajta, hogy ide koltozzek -, aki mondta, hogy o imad itt lakni, dolgozni es van egy rakas felbutorozott lakas eleg olcso aron is. Ugyhogy hurra, koltozom! -nem vicc, miutan mindennek utananeztem, van ra esely-.
Miutan vegeztunk -es nem fizettuk ki az italokat, hupsz-, buszra szalltunk, majd meg egy kis idot eltoltottunk a parton, mert estenkent csodalatos ido van ♡
