Waking up in the room filled with morning sun and cool breeze, having the yoga session and then the breakfast prepared with fruits right from his backyard, meeting Hawaiian geckos, enjoying many colourful flowers and lush trees which surround his house, cycling to the beach on the sky-coloured beach cruiser along the scenic road, having coffee at cozy cafes in the neighbourhood, swimming in the waterfall at Waimea valley (we didn't have a car but it was super easy to get to Waimea Valley by the bus, the bus stop being simple 5min walk away from his house), finding everything we needed at the natural food store nearby, making shampoo from the hibiscus shoots growing by the front door... my partner and I just loved our time in the North Shore. Only thing that concerned me a bit was the mosquito on the terrace (and at the Waimea valley in the sunset hours) as I became allergic to it a few years ago... but it wasn't a serious problem and I could just wear a long-sleeved shirt to cover myself. We appreciated his nature-based way of life and also the sense of quietness.. Thank you, Cab-san :)
