Hawaii Day 6

Saturday May 30, 2009

It was a beautiful, clear day, the water was so brilliant and beautiful, although it was much hotter, because of the sun beating down. I think this is the day that I got my "killer tan", the rest of the time was just prepping for it. We went to our usual for breakfast and took yet some more pics at Laie Point, it was hard not to, it was the most clear, sunny day we had gotten (we weren't that mad about the weather, but some locals thought we had picked out a crappy week to come there, is there a crappy week in Hawaii??? I'd like to see it) Now we were seeing why they were saying that! Sorry for more pictures here, but you can see why!

We drove north again, to do the things we saw when we drove up there before, to do some things we had missed out on and wanted to do.

Our first stop was Sharks Cove. A fun place to snorkel (for Justin), while I checked out the tide pools. There was plenty in there for me to see.

This was Justin's all time favorite thing on the whole trip. He did some gnarly jumps(dives), and got some lovely bruises. I sat on the beautiful beach watched, took the pictures, and read.
Justin is the white dude in the light shorts, on the edge

Don't worry he didn't flop, I caught him mid flip

The beautiful Waimea Bay!

We loved this sign, probably a religious surfers dream! We visited the Dole Plantation, only long enough to get a pineapple whip!Then we drove into Haleiwa to get some goods that we saw but didn't buy before, and since the trip was soon ending we still had some $ to burn!

We ate at a yummy place called Breakers, and then walked over to get, what else, a shave ice! This lovely concoction was called the pineapple bowl. It had pineapple ice cream on the bottom, pineapple all around it, pineapple shave ice, sweet(sweetened condensed milk)cream, and whip cream on top. YUM!It wasn't the best we had in Hawaii, but it was darn good!

On the way back we stopped and took a picture of the temple, which was undergoing renovations. Had it been open, we probably would have tried to do a session.

Before heading back to our place we headed a little bit south to the Mac Nut Farm Outlet. Had we gotten there earlier, we would have taken their tour, which we hear is totally worth the $15. The tour bus, that we didn't go on!

However, when we were walking out of the shop, we met a man who runs the gardens and plant/flower nursery there. We talked with him for a while, and he gave us a tour of the mac nut tree, told us about his family, showed us a picture of his beautiful daughter(on the front of a calendar, miss Hawaiian Tropic). Then we exchanged contact info with him, we now have a e-mail pal in Hawaii. The nursery he and his wife run is a part of the Kualoa Ranch, which we'll visit our next time there.

This is me cracking a nut, with a rock!

There it is

YUM!

We went to dinner, at Papa Ole's yet again, and then went to Angel's for this:

That concludes this wonderful day, the next post will be the last Hawaii post, I have mixed feelings about it. Sick of blogging, but keeping the memories fresh!
