Sunset Pictures from nowhere else than Sunset Beach!




Quote of the Day!

In the realm of my current situation and reading several "self help" books on "success," I think this quote is a good reality check.

"Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there."

Haha......My experiece with the Canyon Swing!

Although I faced "death" nearly 5 months ago on the Shotover Canyon Swing, in Queenstown New Zealand, I figured that everyone would enjoy video clip. It is the world's highest swing at 109 metres/360 feet above the famous Shotover River. Attached in a full body harness, you have over 10 jump styles to choose from, ranging from mild to mind blowing. Once you leave the platform you'll have a 60-metre/200-foot free fall before smoothly entering a giant 200-metre swing arc at 150 kilometres per hour..... I apologize for the profanity in advance!

Pandora: From zero to addicted in ten minutes!



Monday: soup.
Tuesday: salad.
Wednesday: soup and salad. (Yawn.)

If your ears are as bored as your taste buds, check out Pandora. The service creates a streaming radio station based around your favorite artist or song, so it’s easy to mix up your music menu. And because it’s customized, it satisfies even the pickiest listener.

How, you ask? Pandora chooses what to play next based on the current song’s genetic code — its rhythm, instrumentation, and lyrics. Your feedback guides the growth of your station. A veto blocks a song and causes others like it to play less frequently. Give a thumbs up, and Pandora will toss in tunes with similar flavor.

You can keep up to 100 stations of your own, all for free. And with numbers from more than 20,000 artists, you’re always guaranteed something fresh and tasty.

After all, Varitey is the Spice of Life!

Quotes of the day!

I thought that everyone could use a little upliftig with daily quotes. In the coming weeks I will be adding a new quote everyday depending on the vibe of that day. Please check back frequently! Mahalo!

Todays quote is quite fitting with all of the good aura around the North Shore that I have experienced today.



"Utility is when you have one telephone, luxury is when you have two, opulence is when you have three - and paradise is when you have none"

Kauai

Kauai is called Hawaii's Garden Island. It is renown for the enchanting beauty of its cascading emerald mountains, its flower bedecked streams and its swaying palm fringed beaches. Kauai is the most pristine and secluded of the major Hawaiian Islands where the feeling and pace of old Hawaii still lives. Abundant in sandy beaches and where no building is allowed higher than a coco palm, Kauai offers a unique new adventure and a relaxing respite from the bustle found elsewhere. Only a short 20 minute flight from Honolulu, I high recommend visiting this lush untouched gem of paradise. Even on a budget it is still possible to travel, that is, if you dont mind sleeping in your rental car!




Erosion!


Enjoying the view



Tree Tunnel








Doesn't get much better then this!

The New Residence on Sunset Beach!

After living in staying in a hostel, car, and the most disturbing, an airport waiting area, I finally found a place to call home on the North Shore of Oahu. It is about a 5 minute drive from the historic surfing town of Haleiwa, and the Banzai Pipeline is right at my door step. Its not much, but it is my piece of paradise. Enjoy the tour!




These are pictures of Sunset Beach, and yes the name is fitting if you wondered (those pictures are soon to come). Also the harbour of Haleiwa is included!

Pipeline Baby!






Cliff Jumping in Waimea Bay

My German friend, Uli and myself stumbled upon this gem of a beach, and the Cliff made it even better!






Aloha from Hawaii!

I recently moved to Hawaii from Australia, and needless to say, I am enjoying it. I have had the opportunity to see quite a few things.
