Hawaiian Island Cruise

Previous Day Prev P    

Sunday, 8 January 2023 - Last day in Hawaii spent relaxing and walking the Waikiki Beach area, starting with a late breakfast, shopping near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, strolling along the boardwalk past Banyan trees and ocean views, and ending with drinks at the Royal Hawaiian resort before departing.

We saw many Banyan trees during our visit - this tree has several roots growing toward earth - but still very high.

After years the trunks of the Banyan tree are so unique in layer after layer of roots.

While on the ship, the jewelry store had a similar setup where you could choose an oyster - they would open the oyster then you would get the pearl inside - this cost 15-30 dollars. Cal participated in a "guess the number" of stones in a jar - and won a free oyster opening. Virginia Ann chose an oyster and was rewarded with a beautiful silver pearl. Of course, the jewelry shop was ready with a setting and chain, so not exactly "free". Her necklace is beautiful and a great reminder of the trip.

A great shot to end our walk about - surfboards locked for their owners along a path to the beach.
