Sun 29th,After a fuel stop in Samoa we were on our way again to Honolulu,funny day today as because of the time difference we had Sunday twice,I will fly through the next 2 weeks of our trip as all we really did was go down to the beach,sunbathe and relax.our hostel was quite a nice place,we were lucky that we managed to get a 4 bed dorm and in the centre of town,in the evenings we tried to keep the costs down so we mainly ate in a food hall where most of the food was Oriental,the food was always good and cheap.
Tues 31st,1 of the trips we did was to Pearl Harbour,for some people this is a really emotional trip,we first watched a video of the events of the day,Dec 7th 1941,in some way's the scale of the attack could have been far less devastating had the man on the end of a phone call double checked that the information on the planes arriving over the island were corect and also they thought nobody would ever attack them,the main part of the memorial is the USS Arizona,over 1,000 people died on the ship and they remain entombed where it sunk,2,390 people died this day,there are other memorials around the site but none as moving as the Arizona.
Fri 3rd,Did a tour of the island,some great sights all the way round with some great beaches,so many places where different films have been shot over the years,stopped off at other places of interest,eg nut farm and pineapple farm.
Mon 20th,Myself and Jamie hired Harley Davidson's for the day and rode all the way round the island,about 30 odd miles altogether,we stopped off at different spots where the coach did'nt stop,was great riding around with no helmets feeling the wind in your hair(well Jamie did),parked the bikes up for the night in the hostel and had a few beers on our last night in Honolulu.
