Blowhole

Another video from Hawaii for you to enjoy.  After 3 days in the Waikiki area we took the Kalanianaole Highway (try saying that one fast!) heading south.  We drove all the way around the coast on our way up to Hau'ula.  That is located where the natives refer to as - North Shore.  We finished our vacation in a little apartment there. 

Back to the drive around the island.  There were several things we wanted to stop and see on our drive around the island.  This video is of the Halona Blowhole.  This stop is a very touristy thing to see.  Everyone wants to see it in it's magnificence - so why not us?  We want you to see it too. 


The tide wasn't high enough to see the blowhole in it's magnificence.  But we did think it was pretty cool.  It was super windy and that is what you hear in the video.  There is another very famous place nearby.  Ever heard of the movie, "From Here to Eternity?"  It is a 50's movie about soldiers in Hawaii leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Some famous actors and actresses in it are:  Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra, Ernest Borgnine, Deborah Kerr, and Donna Reed.  The film won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture.  The famous kissing scene in that movie is on a romantic and secluded beach is just yards from the blowhole

Scene from the movie.

How it looks really.
It is a tiny piece of beach between the blowhole and a  rocky violent shoreline. 


BTW - for those who are wondering -
there will be a comic book published
 detailing our trip to Hawaii. 
Please be patient!
