Pearl Harbor

The busdrive to pearl harbor was about 30 minutes from the hotel. The buss left at 8 this morning. First we went to the visitor center were you could walk around a small museum and see a lot of dirrerent missiles. There were also different memorials, giftshop and pictures to look at. Then we saw a movie that told the story about what happened December 7, 1941 (the day the base got attacted by Japan). Pretty interesting! After the movie we took a ferry out to the USS Arizona memorial. That's the name of the ship that had the biggest explosion when the Japaneses attacked pearl har or in 1941. More than 1200 people died that day. The memorial is place right on where the shhip sank, since the water is not very deep out there you san see the ship under the water.

For lunch we had panda express, think this is the first time I eat there and I really liked it!

After lunch break we went to see the battle ship USS Missouri. The ship is not longer used in the military since 1992, but is now avalible for visiting. The ship was used in WWII. It's an important ship as it's on that ship Japan came onboard to sign the paper that the pacific war was over in 1945. That's the reason the ship is next to the Arizona memorial - the beggining and the end of the war are next to each other ;)

Our group got a special tour since we did a service project on the ship. We swept the entire deck. So now I've done some community service in Hawaii :) I also bought a book from a guy who survived December 7th at pearl harbor, he's sat at the visitor center and signed them, so cool!

After visiting the ship we headed bach to the hotel and just hung out for a while. I went shopping and got ice cream with some ppl. Dinner was at the hotel tonight on the 21st floor so the view was pretty nice!
After dinner -more shopping and then sleeping... Feels like I'm constatly "hyper" during this trip haha!
