We started by taking the bus to the Hawaiian state building. On our way there we past President Obama's grandma's apartment (he is from hawaii), pretty cool!
The city of Honolulu is a modern city but with a lot of green tropical plants/trees. Bright colors and very pretty!
Then we went to a big famous pineapple plantation "Dole". Didn't know pineapples grow under the ground... Thought they grew on palmtrees^^. Tasted fresh pineapple ice cream - sooo good!
After that we headed towards the North Shore (other side of the island) were there are several miles of amazing beaches perfect for surfing. A lot of big surf competition are hold here and movies/tv-shows are filmed here. For example 50 fisrt dates and pirates of the caribbean. The beaches were gorgeous!
We also stopped for lunch in a small town for lunch and shopping of souvenirs. We had lunch in a small local thai place were you had to go through the kitchen to use the restroom.. I'm sure that wouldn't be allowed in Sweden! Food was good though.
We finished our day by going to the Polynesian Coltural center. It's like a disney world but with different island cultures. The Islands represented were Fijii, Hawaii, Thonga, Thaiti, Samoa, md maybe some more I don't remember. We saw different shows were they showed their dances in their native costumes/clothes, climbed the plamtrees, played music, cooked etc all in the way they do it on the islands. Very well done and it was fun to see all the different cultures! We also had dinner there and saw a big shou at the end in a huge outside theatre. The show was called "HA"and gad lot's of different dances and music from the different islands.
I've experienced so much today and had so much fun - I love it here!!!!!!!! And peopke from here are so chill, they never seem to worry about anything and are always smiling.
Aloha! (Means hi/goodbye i. Hawaiian).
