Hawaii - day 3

On Tuesday we took a drive around Oahu. We left our hotel around 10am and didn't get back until about 9pm.

For breakfast we had donuts at Agnes' Bakery in Kailua in the southeast corner of the island. Mark had a "Macadamia Nut Maple" bar that he puts in the 'top 3 donuts' he has ever had in his much storied donut eating career. It was simply: fantastic.


We spent the morning at Kailua Beach. Called by some guidebooks as the 'best beach in America.' Bella loved playing 'making cookies' in the sand.


For lunch we stopped at the Turtle Bay Resort in the northeast corner of Oahu. Just a beautiful spot.


Our next stop was the world famous "Sunset Beach" on the north shore. This area is generally consider the world's greatest place to surf. Huge waves about 200 meters off shore.


Next we cut south through the center of the island and stopped by the Dole pineapple plantation.


Time for a snack! Shave ice.... a Hawaiian speciality.


Our last stop was out on the beach in front of the J.W. Marriot on the south west side of the island.


Another beautiful sunset.
