11th May 2011 Circle tour of the Island - Hawaii











































































Well after we left Pearl Harbour we headed for the Dole Plantation which is one of the largest Pineapple plantations and we got to have a look around and then we headed off to North Shore and our first stop was Sunset Beach. It was really beautiful and whilst we were on the beach a seal decided to beach itself - oh my goodness it was awesome!! After that we went for lunch at the Fuji Shrimp Farm where Emily and I had Garlic Butter Shrimp which was really good - very garlicy but yummy! Then we stopped off at the cliff where they filmed part of Forgetting Sarah Marshall where they jumped off the cliff and then it was off to the Macadamia Farm where of course we had to buy some Macadamia's. From here we went to the Pali Lookout & Valley which gives a great view and it started raining up there and was quite cool. Then our next stop was the Halona "Blow Hole" Lookout and this is where we saw 3 turtles swimming in the bay. Our next stop was Hanauma Bay which is meant to be a great snorkel bay which we are hoping to go back to and Emily saw another turtle there also. On the way back to the hotel we went into the Diamond Head crater and via some of the very expensive homes where stars lived or had $23 million dollar holiday homes. As you can see in one of the photos Matthew had seen enough and had a little nap until we got back to the hotel. The tour guide we had was really great and he was really funny and very informative - it was a one of the best tours we have been on this trip.
