Travel Day

We rented a car yesterday and travelled to the North Shore. We stopped at the Outlet stores on the way. I spent over an hour in it and bought a pair of running shoes - leaving my old ones for them to throw out. Then we headed to the Dole Plantation.

We went on the Dole train and the Dole gardens and ate in their restaurant. Nothing was free but it was worth the trip.

We went into the Dole Gardens and did a tour and they were beautiful. Here's a sampling of some of the plants.



Pink leaves that remind me of my rhubarb



Amazed at the red in the middle only on the leaves

We also went out to the beaches and the beautiful scenery. Unfortunately we had to sit in the car for a bit while it rained but it was still beautiful. The sun eventually came out and we got out of the car.

Raining on the North Shore

This was mainly 'boogy boards' not surfing - a real undertow

By the time we got home we were all tired. We did our usual International Marketplace 'take out' and relaxed in our room. Both of us went to bed early!

However, this picture is of the north skyline taken from our balcony just after we got home. We know what the weather was like there! Glad it was sunny in Waikiki! Looking forward to another sunny day in Waikiki today.

Our hotel faces North and it is beautiful!

Aloha!
