We all decided to make the circuit of the island the first full day we were on Oahu, starting with Pearl Harbor, continuing to the Dole Pineapple Store and Maze, then the North Shore, and finally coming around the island's eastern side and back home to the Hale Koa.
The next day Darrell and I struck out on our own to do some things that weren't of interest to my in-laws. First was snorkeling at Hanauma Bay then on to Makapuu, the first of two lighthouses we visited on Oahu. Lunch at KimoZ in Waimanalo and a quick stop at the Halona blow hole, then back home.
The following day we took the Pali Highway to the Nuuanu Pali Lookout for a spectacular view of the island. The next stop was the Byodo-In Buddhist temple, a beautiful replica of a 900 year old temple in Japan. We arrived at our main destination, the Polynesian Cultural Center, promptly at noon when it opened and had a great day, filled with the colors and sounds of Polynesia.
Just one day left on Oahu before leaving for the Kona Coast. Darrell and I walked to the Waikiki Aquarium to see the fish and exhibits and then took the bus to the Foster Botanical Gardens. What a peaceful place, with gorgeous flowers, trees and other plants. Then we went back to the hotel for the dinner buffet and Hawaiian show later that night.
The next morning we took a quick drive to the Diamond Head lighthouse for a last minute photo opportunity before boarding the plane that took us to the big island of Hawaii.
