I think that we can honestly say that we finished off Hawaii the right way. On our 3rd day in Hawaii we did the most amazing thing we could - we lounged! We went down to the beach, rented bodyboards and got rocked but waves for hours...it was wonderful. We grabbed lunch at Wolfgang Pucks pizza place on the beach and headed beck to the hotel for a naps and to get ready for the nights wanderings. We walked through beautiful hotels that were slightly out of our price range :) but they were beautiful and we were happy just to gaze as we went through. The rest of the night was spend in the hotel pool and hot tubs. It was a great way to spend our last full day in Honolulu, we had the chance to relax, take a breath and absorb all the fun and stupid things we had done over the last couple of days.
Hawaii Day 4 - The end of paradise
Well as they say "go big or go home" and today we went huge
Beach Bums
! We were up at 5am to catch out shuttle to the Pearl Harbour Memorial. Let me just say now that this was the most amazing and most well thought out memorial that i have ever seen. They had veterans from the the day of the attack there signing autographs, they had a movie depicting the events and the interviews with those who were able to recount the events. Then it was out to the memorial on the water, you'll have to see the pictures to believe this but the memorial is built on top of the remains of the Arizona battleship. It is truly one of a kind. From Pearl Harour, we headed to the battleship missouri which is grounded on the dock. We spent hours on that ship exploring everywhere, the mess hall, the sleeping areas, the captains quarters, litterally everywhere we could. It was a long day and it was sad day as well. Back at the hotel, Jen and I packed up for our latest adventure, New Zealand. The goodbyes were sad and hilarious and I am happy to say that Honolulu wouldn't have been the same without Brianne and Chantelle, you guys made it amazing! Thanks and I can't wait to hear from you!
