Hawaii - Day 12, Honolulu

On New Year's Day we were up early and on a flight back to Honolulu at 8am.  I have to mention Kona airport because it is the only airport that I have ever been to that is just completely outside.  It's really weird, there just aren't walls and doors, it's only open.  There are covered areas for you to sit in then you just walk through a gate to the plane!

Chris had been up for most of the previous night suffering from the effects of his food poisoning so we were a bit worried about him getting on a flight but it was fine. The plane was really empty and it only took about 30 minutes and we were back in Honolulu. We were able to check into our hotel as soon as we arrived and Chris went straight to bed and stayed there for the rest of the day. I was pretty tired too so had a nap then spent the day wondering around the shops and taking some photos of Honolulu. Waikiki beach was absolutely packed, there was hardly a bit of sand showing and there were so many people in the sea.
