Flying over Maui and landing in Honolulu, on the Oahu island.

  

This must be Hawaii ... so I get a loi and aloha; with Phillipe Gross and Sam Shapiro, two psychologist from UoH.

  

The view from the 45th floor of my hotel is great: Dimond Head in the distance is an old volcano. The rocks are black lava.

  

Byodo-in with green cloud-covered mountains ... a dream place.

  

At down in a remote corner of the island, waiting for the sun. Kualoa ranch was made famous by The Jurrassic Park, shot here.

  

After hours with mysterious lady from HK we went to Hanaouma Bay for some snorkling.

  

Next day I went on a boat for scuba diving; hanging to a chain 35 meters below the surface.

  

Exploring the wreck and chasing turtles bigger than myself.

  

Avoiding mooray eels and trying to keep myself warm.
