Lost!

I know that I am in a fairly small minority of the people I know who stuck with Lost for the whole 6 seasons. But Cliff and I love it and I asked to be able to go on the Lost tour for an early birthday present. The tv show was filmed almost entirely on the island of Oahu, Hawaii (two scenes were shot in London and a few in LA and that's it). What luck we happened to be in Hawaii! Good planning more like :)

We booked the day direct through Kos Tours. Matt collected us in a beautiful silver Hummer and we headed off to another hotel to collect two other people who were on the tour so we could start the 10-hour(!) day. Well, as it happened, the others were a no-show which meant that we had the Hummer and Matt to ourselves. Oahu is a beautiful island and whilst we were keen to see the locations where they filmed Lost, it was also the perfect introduction to the island.

I'll post the pictures and avoid too many comments; you might recognise some of the places:

The house Hurley bought for his mum

The rocks used for the scene where Miles parachutes onto the island, where Desmond killed Kelvin and where Ben lied to Juliet (again).

Biyodo-In Temple, where they filmed Sun and Jin's engagement and where Jacob 'touched' them at their wedding.

The pier.

The 'graveyard' on the Lostie's beach camp.

Turtle Beach, just one of the many Green Turtles we spotted in the surf. This is also the Lostie's beach camp.

The crash beach and the tree where Jack first saw his dead father.

Liam preparing for a jump on the crash beach.

And the jump.

Othersville.

Where they met the polar bear.

Waimea Valley, used for the waterfall scenes in seasons 2 and 6.
