Hello? Waikiki! ”

Around 9 AM, we arrived at Honolulu Airport from Hilo Airport on Big Island. We took the pick-up shuttle of Gaja Hawaii, which we had booked in advance in Korea, and went to our hotel in the city.

The hotel we were staying at was Moana Surfrider! It was the first hotel built in Waikiki, Hawaii, and it recently underwent remodeling both inside and out, giving it a modern feel and making it really pretty.

When we were checking in, the staff tempted us to upgrade to a beach view room for an additional $50... so we said OK! (For about 50,000 won, we didn't have to drink a single alcohol hahaha) But... this choice... became the best choice for our Hawaii honeymoon. Hawaiian accommodations are small for the price, but the ocean view Moana Surfrider room offers the best view.

After unpacking, we went to the beach to sunbathe and play in the water with the waves. We were able to grab the beach towels provided by the hotel and head straight to the beach in front of us. The Waikiki ocean The waves are big but they break gently? So just riding the waves and playing in the water is really fun. Everyone was sleeping on the white sand, so I wondered how I could sleep so well here, but oh my, I slept the best. There really is no paradise. 

After washing and reorganizing, we went to Alamo Center for dinner. Since we didn't rent a car on the first day, we went by Uber. Alamo Center is a large shopping center in downtown Honolulu. There is also a Target (large supermarket) right next to it. Some local Hawaiian tours include shopping at Alamo Center, so you can guess that the center is very large. As expected, most of the popular brands are located in Alamo Center, and there were also many food and souvenir shops. After eating Polynesian cuisine, a traditional Hawaiian food, for dinner at Alamo Center, and since it was our first day in Honolulu, we did some light window shopping, then took an Uber back to the hotel. 

Since it was just about sunset, we quickly walked to the beach. We could see the sunset of the famous Waikiki Beach firsthand. I see~. The atmosphere of everyone at Waikiki Beach concentrating on the sunset was really impressive. The colors of the sunset in the middle of the wide sky and the sea were breathtakingly beautiful. Some people were busy taking pictures of this scenery, while others were whispering to their companions. I am also grateful that this sunset decorated my honeymoon evening beautifully.
