The Oahu tour described in yesterday's blog continued with a stop at one of the locals' favorite shrimp trucks on the north coast for a lunch plate of locally farmed shrimp, chicken or fish and the group sat outdoors under cover to have our picnic lunch. I chose coconut shrimp which was quite good.
After lunch we headed to the famous Sunset Beach, a beautiful beach well known to surfers for its towering surf during the winter months, where many international surfing contests are held. It was a lovely day, and we enjoyed watching the surfers.
Here are some views of Sunset Beach:
Next stop was the Dole Pineapple Planation - which is just a gift shop really. They are famous for their pineapple ice cream. However, they were so very short staffed that we waited in line for 30 minutes just to get our ice cream, and missed shopping. Their loss.
After that, we headed back to the ship for a rest and dinner. Then we headed out to Waikiki Beach - more about that in tomorrow's blog.
