Hawaii - Day 2

It's all about Dave & Stacey today, Mick & Michelle are AWOL at the moment- who knows, perhaps lost in a shopping maze that they cant escape from.

We collected our car after a rainy start to the day, and a bit of a sleep in. As it turned out it's a Dodge convertible. The plan is to do a lap around the Island (Oahu).

Lets go honey.

Pupukea Beach

Getting out of Honolulu took much longer than expected, it's way bigger than you would expect. Our first stop was at the Dole Pineapple Plantation for some pineapple ice cream of course.

Pupukea beach was absolutely great, the picture above doesn't really do it justice, in reality its much larger. A really great spot for snorkelling, wish we had some. Though we went for a swim, it was great, could spend a day there easily.

Next was a drive past the surfing mecca's of Pipeline, Sunset beach etc. Even though it was dead flat there was heaps of traffic and very few places to stop the car. (so we didn't)

Later in the afternoon, we stopped to watch the local ocean racing canoe clubs compete, they use what seems a traditional boat, so many people there, its popular sport.

We made it back to the hotel by about 7pm, so it was along day, though we didn't set off untill about lunchtime. It will be an early night. Will add more on Mick's adventures tommorrow.

Aloha.
