A visit from Norway :)

Martine, my best friend from Norway, came down for a two week visit. I picked her up at the airport Thursday night, 23rd of September, and it was soo exciting to finally see her again ♡ As you can see in our previous update, she was here for the trip to Kailua Beach and celebration of 1st friday in China Town. Here's some of the other stuff we did while she was here:

Shop till you drop - literally! We took a couple of trips to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which is partially outdoors with open-air corridors. Love it! There's lots to see here, but we definetly ended up spending the most time at Victoria's Secret. Martine came home with two big bags of clothes, bikinis and lingerie. 

Took a trolley ride home one night. SO much better then the buses that are filled with homeless people, drunkies and junkies.

We were having a real good time, feeling as if we were on a sightseeing tour...

...until a random Asian dude decided to fall asleep on my shoulder. He kept falling over from one side to the other. Creepy!

Of course Waikiki Beach was the place to be! We tried scoobadiving for the first time in Hawaii!

The second to last night of Martine's stay, we decided to check in at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. With the low currency, we were able to book one of the nicest rooms, in the signature "Rainbow tower". Deluxe ocean view from the 30th floor, two double sized beds, massage shower, flatscreen tv and a nice and breezy balcony... we were in heaven!!

We started off with a trip to the hotel's beach.

Then some chill-out time in our room. 

A "romantic"late dinner at the beach. New York steak on the menu.

A walk around the village. So much cool stuff. Restaurants, stores, a chapel, animals and several hotel buildings. The best hotel experience we've ever had.

We ended the night with some quality time in our room, enjoying the view and watching the movie "The Last Song". Since Martine stayed in the living room in our apartment, it was nice to have one night together, just the two of us! Staying up till 4 in the morning, not thinking about anything but enjoying ourselves - it was definetly the way to end Martines stay! Thursday, 7th of October, Martine went back home to Norway. I miss her already, but I really appreciate her coming all this way - just for a visit! Love that girl!
