Day 110: 2nd day in Hawaii


Today was a busy day for us. We went to many places and went for a long drive.
We started our day with Pearl Harbour. There is lots of history there. There was a twenty minute video on the history of pearl harbour. Then we went on a ferry to see the USS ARizona. It is an memorial for all those who lost their lives inthe uss Arizona .

We drove along the highway towards the North Shore. Our first stop was the Tropical Farms
Macadamia Nut Outlet. It wasn't one of our intended stop but it was really neat there . They had a daily tour at eleven am but we missed it. .we just walked afou d the gift shop and tried the various flavours of mac nuts .I tried the coffee and caramel flavoured covered mac nuts. We didn't buy any mac nuts there. They were too expensive.
We were hungry and wanted some lunch. We headed to the Shrimp Shack. We ordered crab cakes and coconut shrimp. Both were deep fried with coconut and served with rice. We accidently found the World Cup of Surfing. We stopped for a few minutes to watch . After that we headed to Waimea bay Beach Park . We went to play in the water for a bit. There were waves coming in. I would stand in the sand by the shallow end of the water and i would wait for the wave to hit me.it sounds weird but it was fun. We stopped to get some shaved ice at Matsumoto. It's a large sno cone . We finally made it to the Dole Plantation. It was neat to see how pineapples grow.
We went for sushi. Then we went outlet mall shopphing. I only bought a couple of items.
