Apr 1st 2010 - Pearl Harbor - USS Missouri - Waimanalo Beach

Mar 31st 2010 - Diamond Head... Ala Moana Shopping...

Aloha Ahiahi – Good evening!

Today has been another great day! We had breakfast as usual… after breakfast we went hiking up the volcanic cone of Diamond head, southeast of Waikiki

The two-hour walk from our hotel to the top was tiring, but the view from the top was worth every step. We took wonderful pictures with Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean as the background.

When we got back to the hotel, some of us had lunch at Duke’s, some went to the beach and others strolled the streets of Waikiki. All enjoying the beautiful afternoon weather.

At 5pm, we left to go to Ala Moana Mall – the biggest mall in Hawaii. The girls really liked it! There most of us did a lot of shopping, and later we all had a delicious dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp, a restaurant inspired by the movie Forrest Gump.

However, it’s time to go to bed, we are getting up early tomorrow to visit Pearl Harbor.
