Driving up the Kamehameha Highway

The road that travels up the windward coast and much of the north shore is named the Kamehameha Highway. I think the average speed limit is about 35 mph, which gives you plenty of time to stare at the scenery as the road twists and turns along the coast.

If you're headed north, if you turn your head left, you see this:


and if you turn to the right, you see this.


Mountains on one side, the ocean on the other, right up close to the road. And since Oahu isn't really very big, it's easy to drive the length of it and back in a day. We couldn't help just staring at everything each time we drove up this way. It makes you wish you had a couple extra sets of eyes.

This drive is the thing I miss most -- I loved this kind of scenery.




So beautiful.
