There we go. I knew I had a pic somewhere.
Here's the same side of the wall. Notice those two pedestrians having to walk on the street. That part of the sidewalk has definitely been sealed off.

Cool pics! Nice view of the catcombs. I think that is a femur your holding. The ball at the top of it fits into the hip socket.

How did the French treat me? With great hospitality! Smaller city of Sant Malo, of course, was obviously better than asking directions from French cab drivers but as long as you speak French, you are really treated well. Even by the pirates....erm..."privateers!" Caught this one when the ship was actually sailing (well, coming into dock). Way cool.

Pictures just can't show the enormousness of those waves. Looking for surfers in the normal pictures is like trying to find bacteria without a microscope.
In the one photo before the close up, I actually think I can see a few of them, toward the left had side, either that or you had dust on your scanner. lol
Love the two pictures of the valley taken from the road. You just don't get green that color anywhere but the topics. Beautiful! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Monday, January 17, 2011 11:47:04 PM)

Ok, a very select few and pretty much a trip around the outskirts of O'ahu.
Hanauma Bay - Great snorkling. Be smart and bring your own gear.
Lookout point over Honolulu / Waikiki
By North Shore. The valley where they filmed Jurassic Park, the last King Kong + many others. Taken from a moving vehicle as there is no place to stop on this two-laner. Yeah, it is that green and amazing.
"Three Tables." North Shore. Sits between Waimea Bay Beach and the Banzai Pipeline. BIG wave day which is what brought me there. Picture before a round of waves...
and during.
Finally, the famous Banzai Pipeline that has killed or injured more surfers than any other spot on the globe. Look closely, there are surfers in just about all the shots to follow. Hard to see as the sun was setting and those waves were so big. Final digital zoom picks out a few maniacs and puts it into perspective.

No, Bud. Lava is only on the Big Island as it is the newest. O'ahu is one of the oldest. While not lava, it is all dried lava aka. igneous rock. Thus, the pointy mountains and pock-marked / layered rock in just about every picture. On Big Island, most say that you really even need to take a helicopter to have a chance of seeing any molten lava.
Hell, the sand on a lot (most?) of those beaches are not native. It is white sand imported from Australia!

Lookout point over Honolulu / Waikiki
By North Shore. The valley where they filmed Jurassic Park, the last King Kong + many others. Taken from a moving vehicle as there is no place to stop on this two-laner. Yeah, it is that green and amazing.
"Three Tables." North Shore. Sits between Waimea Bay Beach and the Banzai Pipeline. BIG wave day which is what brought me there. Picture before a round of waves...
and during.
Finally, the famous Banzai Pipeline that has killed or injured more surfers than any other spot on the globe. Look closely, there are surfers in just about all the shots to follow. Hard to see as the sun was setting and those waves were so big. Final digital zoom picks out a few maniacs and puts it into perspective.

HRMG - Double the pendant, double the luck! I flew in when a snow/ice storm hit home and came back when the rain / ice was hitting the island!
Bud - I'll post a couple of more but it is hard if you know me. I am both a big shutterbug and into doing major hikes / running. Every other corner is majestic and the whole island is basically volcanic rock. Goes from tropical jungle to the north to urban sprawl around Honolulu / Pearl Harbor / Waikiki to the rock / cactus (no joke...look below) to the south. Ran the route where they filmed Jurassic Park, King Kong, etc., then HAD to stop by the calm bay where they filmed the intro to Fantasy Island. Da plane! Da plane! I'll take a look and put up a few more ASAP, Bud.

You know, I heard it was and I drove up to the temple twice (once in a small tour and again having rented a nice Red Mustang Convert. jeje). Just couldn't justify driving all that way when the big waves were hitting Waimea and, especially, the Banzai Pipeline. Watching the sunset while these maniacs were trying to surf some 30 ft rollers was just too cool.

I could see that it was the JP cross, just not which one it was. Knowing that you were not sure which one to take with you, I wondered which one you picked. So you brought both? Did it double your pleasure and double your luck???

No active volcanoes on O'ahu but one of the coolest things I did was hike Diamond Head Crater. Google it to see the aerial view. It is impressive. One shot below is looking down onto Waikiki and the other was over a "do NOT jump the rail" sign looking back into the crater. HA! Putting a sign up like that with one of those cool WWII "pillbox" bunkers within sight on the nearby ridge? That was just calling my name! Funny as I had just watched two other foreigners jump it and decided to follow their route along the ridge. No sooner had I jumped over than a guard came out of nowhere and started calling then whistling as I just played "deaf hiker" walking carefully but quickly, jumped on the "pillbox" for that photo and we all made haste to get back across the ridge and over the guardrail. As some were saying "I don't read English" with heavy German and Dutch accents, I chimed in with a "¡No hablo inglés!"
We all scattered like cucarachas in the light once we got back in the crowd safely behind the rail.

Speaking of which, I got tired of hula music very quickly and decided to make requests. I tells ya, I'll die "Defending."

No active volcanoes on O'ahu but one of the coolest things I did was hike Diamond Head Crater. Google it to see the aerial view. It is impressive. One shot below is looking down onto Waikiki and the other was over a "do NOT jump the rail" sign looking back into the crater. HA! Putting a sign up like that with one of those cool WWII "pillbox" bunkers within sight on the nearby ridge? That was just calling my name! Funny as I had just watched two other foreigners jump it and decided to follow their route along the ridge. No sooner had I jumped over than a guard came out of nowhere and started calling then whistling as I just played "deaf hiker" walking carefully but quickly, jumped on the "pillbox" for that photo and we all made haste to get back across the ridge and over the guardrail. As some were saying "I don't read English" with heavy German and Dutch accents, I chimed in with a "¡No hablo inglés!"
We all scattered like cucarachas in the light once we got back in the crowd safely behind the rail.

Speaking of island chain, did you get to see any of the volcanoes there?

I had never been and had no idea that they were supposedly the most isolated island chain on the planet. It was in the guide book and I still had to confirm it with a google myself. Who'd a thunk it? Found it confirmed a bunch of places online, though. Aloha!

Didn't get that specific, but if you go by means of access Hawaii is really not that cut off from the world. That's why there's tons of people queing up to go there each year. lol
