Day 2 we both woke up sore and tired. Not much happened.

We had breakfast downstairs of our place, in a restaurant called Cream Pot. Our book calls this “like being in a French fairytale cottage house.” He’s not wrong. I had the souffle pancakes, which were touted as containing no more than a tablespoon of flour each. Light as air, I didn’t really know if I was eating anything at all.

The weather was terrible, and we went back up to our room and played Roll Through the Ages until about noon. 😛 At which point we decided that we’d slouched around enough to go outside. We walked through Honolulu or Waikiki, towards Waikiki…or just towards the east, until we got tired of walking. Lots of sand. Lots of well-muscled men and women running without shirts on. Lots of Japanese tourists. We had lunch at a place called the Steak Shack, which was veeeery well rated on TripAdvisor. For $7 you get a plate of rice, lettuce+ranch and some well grilled beef. I think it was well rated because you can’t buy a can of pop for $7 here (joking…). For dinner we went to Lulu’s, a barish kind of place. Miranda had the coconut shrimp because she’s on a mission. I had something called a Loco Moco, which was a plate of rice with a beef hamburger patty on it, with two sunny eggs on top, surrounded by the saltiest gravy on the planet. It was delicious, but my grandma and father would have been horrified at the amount of salt. 😛

The night before I had tried to get some circus going on while Miranda was out, but had failed. The lady suggested I might try Kapiolani Park after 4pm on Sunday, as there is a get together. We walked over that way, and found the circus folks doing their thing, but I had to walk away. It was sort of a meet up, do your own thing training kind of thing, and I wasn’t prepared to show up and be a new guy and not really have much to do anyway…the only thing I’m good at is trampoline, which needs a trampoline…which you can’t do in a random park. Sad, but such is life.

We started to walk back but it was a long way back and decided to finish off with a short cab ride back. That night we watched the Amazing Race (the condo TV isn’t nearly as nice as ours :P) and some Lost and then went to bed. Early morning for hiking Diamond Head!
