Our first stop of the day was the 12th floor of the neighboring dorm so we could see the view of the valley and Diamond Head.
We then bused to an area close to Diamond Head beach and trekked the rest of the way to watch the surfers, surf and view. Clear blue green water with many areas where the boogie boarders and surfers were catching 3-5 ft sets.
We had a long wait for the next bus that took us close to our next stop of Wuhan Chinese style restaurant where it took my taste buds back about 4 years. Yum! At the Mei Mei Cafe we had cold noodles with beef, braised pork, and fried dumplings.
Another Bus to Waikiki beach. First stop was the Apple store so Cynthia could see all the different types of the iWatch. After the tattooed sales person explained prices and the differences to Cynthia, she was "Shanghaied" by other Chinese shoppers to become their on the spot translator. Harley-Davidson store was our next shopping stop. After our shopping we definitely needed some rest and refreshment so we walked to the nearby Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the second oldest hotel on the island. Their Mai Tai Bar provided us with a nice view and really strong 14 dollar drinks.
Bus back to campus, after a short rest Cynthia talked me into walking to Bubbies, a ice cream parlor with Mochi, which is an ice cream wrapped with sticky rice. Different really good. Only drawback was the ridiculously long line and the really long walk to get there.
