I went to Hawaii with my mum and her friend.
It was a first time for me to go there.

I had one day bus tour with my mum.

Waves are high, but still not high enough for surf competition.
Near Sunset beach, there was a sea turtle.
We were lucky, because waves were high for sea turtle...

There are many homeless people. They make a mess in the toilet and for secrity reason there are key at shops.

Purl Harbour
At Purl Habour... saw some warships.
I felt bit depressed, because of the past history.
We can not ignore it. Need to know and learn.

This tree is called Monkypod.
Walked around the Waikiki beach...

Finally found handmade ice cream and sorbet shop.

They have various flavour. Each day has different taste.
Coconut Ice cream...
It was big to eat myself at once. I had to put in freezer few times.
Staff write the taste each cup by hand.
There are sandwiches as well... I only had ice cream (Coconut) and sorbet (Lychee and Mango).
The taste was really nice. Next time I wanna try other flavour icecream and sorbet, sandwiches and fruits.
Lunch at beach restaurant...

Lunch at beach restaurant...
I walked around the beachside with my mum.
We found one restaurant... Inside was almost none Japanese tourists, because no Japanese menu.
My mum was so happy about I can speak English.
Looking from the restaurant...
Waitress took us to corner of the table which most beautiful place to see the beach.
Waiter served water with flower.
It was a service from waiter, because no one had flower on the glass.

We shared those... It was very big for two people.
Looks nice and taste were very good too.
Discover...
I was walking around myself in Waikiki area.
I found one little shopping centre called 'Kings Village'.
Actually this centre is old shopping centre. I missed the show called 'Changing of the King's Guard'... I did not know what time the show start...
In stead of real Kings guard... Doll of the King's guard.
Nice wall picture at King's Village.

We could see lots of places from the bus.

They sell very cute T-shirts... but I just looked them.
