Here are a few more pictures that I got before my camera was dropped in the water. That's one of the hazards of being someplace where one of the main attractions is water.
We hiked up the Diamond Head crater. It was a fairly strenous hike
but for old folks we did pretty good.
The last part was about a hundred steps - that was the hard
but the view from the top was spectacular.
We drove up around the coast, stopping at the blow hole and
various beautiful scenic beaches along the way.
We got to this bay at low tide but it was very different from the places we had explored in California at low tide. Dennis came equipped with the appropriate shoes and was able to get out on the far side of the bay and saw more than the little fish that I was able to spot from shore.
We went to the Waimea Arboretum & Botanical Garden.
Dennis swam out to the little waterfall. It hadn't rained much on the island
for a while so all the waterfalls were a bit anemic.
We stopped and got a plate of fresh shrimp at Giovaoni's shrimp truck.
The next day we took the bus in and walked around the old town part of Hololulu, seeing the palace, and other historic sites. We walked around China town and got some lunch there.
Other things we did included going to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation. We shopped and ate and just enjoyed being in such a beautiful part of the world.
