Road Trip Around Oahu, Hawaii: Part 1

Lush mountains, long stretches of beach, and winding roads that hug the coastline - this is the romance behind taking a road trip around the island of Oahu in Hawaii. I was sold on the experience before I left, but I knew an impressive car would make it even more fun. So, I rented out a $200K Bentley Continental convertible and needless to say I had a pretty epic time. 

Diamond Head Lighthouse

Starting off from my hotel in Waikiki, I headed east around Diamond Head and continued to the Makapu'u Lookout. From there I explored the ruins of a sugar mill on the east coast, and made a stop at the Byodo-In Temple. On the north shore I photographed surfers along the iconic Banzai Pipeline, and then continued to the southwest to Barber's Point Beach Park. Naturally, I was also inclined to explore more of Honolulu in the Bentley, and met my sister and her fiance for supper at the Rainbow Drive-In. All and all, it was a pretty incredible day.

I made a brief stop at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

I got stuck in very typical Hawaiian traffic on the north shore.

I can't go anywhere without doing my signature jump picture.

This really was heaven.
