My wife Nancy and I went for a seven-day cruise in Hawaii in the United States some time back. We had arrived a day early so we took the time to explore Honolulu on the island of Oahu on our own.

We rented a car at US$26 (RM114) a day, though the insurance was higher at US$48 (RM212) a day! We drove along the eastern coast to see the Diamond Head, a volcanic cone. Later, we walked along the famous Waikiki beach nearby, which looked just like an ordinary beach, to be honest.
