We picked Ty up around 10:00ish. We hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and I had read some great reviews about the island Malasadas (an Hawaiian donut). And, I had heard Leonard's Bakery was the best place to experience them. Ty said they were "OK", but off we went. Fortunately, the bakery was only a few blocks from Ty's apartment, so we decided to walk. Well, Ty was right; they were just OK. But, we could mark off our list (OK, really just mine) that we had tried them. To me, they were a doughy puffball....a little too much on the doughy side.
Now we are off to start our day. Our first stop was a look-out point over Maunalua Bay where some of the really expensive homes are. It was a great photo op for Delma and Ty.
Next stop - Halona Blow Hole.
Then on to Makapu'u Point.
Next stop, Ty and I had to climb up to that lighthouse. Delma wasn't feeling well and decided she would be really happy just people watching.
We made it to the top in 30 minutes.
Wow! Check out that hair.....and what's that stuff on my nose? Guess I didn't get the suntan lotion rubbed in all the way. Oh well, I tried - and still got a sunburn that day!!!
Back down from the mountain and on to Hanauma Bay. This is a beautiful shallow cove that is famous for snorkeling with sea life (turtles and fish) and spotting hump-back whales. It is also famous because it was where the Elvis movie Blue Hawaii was filmed.
Nice!!
Time to leave and head back to Waikiki. We had one last gift to purchase - a Harley Davidson cap for Christopher. That was quickly accomplished....now back to Ty's. We will pick up Michele and head to dinner at the open-air mall on Waikiki. We ate at a Japanese restaurant (can't remember the name) where they cook the meal in front of us. Delma had never eaten at such a restaurant, so it was great fun.
Another great day.
