My Oahu Escapades – Nu’uanu Pali Lookout (Part 1/5)

My Oahu Escapades started at Downtown Honolulu, a walking tour from Kinau St. to a glimpse of road to Queens Medical Centre , State Capitol building ,Lolani palace, Hawaiian Mission Houses ,Hotel St. , Art Museum to Al Moana Blvd. And before the sun goes down, we drove to Waikalani drive to Pali point, a breathtaking view of Oahu’s Windward coast.

Lolani Palace-the former residence of the Hawaiian monarchs (1882-1893)

Hawaii Mission House — Hawaiian Mission House, includes three restored houses, two of which are the oldest houses in Hawaii

And of course, I won’t leave Waikalani without taking photos of flowers along the road 🙂

The drive to Pali point was as exciting as the sceneries and the wind, oh my! It was windy and cold but I love every minute of it. After all, Pali point is known for strong and howling wind!

I took this photo to show how the grasses swayed along the gust of wind. really? hmm it doesn’t look like it 🙂

Ladies, to enjoy the scenery comfortably, bring along some heavy shirts to protect yourself from the cold wind, there’s no entry fee but a $3 for car park is a must.

Cheers,
