December 8
This was a morning for the beach and we were there before 9 a.m. I know… you are thinking that is awfully early in the morning for me! But we had places to go in the afternoon! We had fun playing in the waves and soaking up the sun.
After lunch we headed to downtown Honolulu to take a tour through the Royal Palace. It was too late in the day to join a guided tour, but we had an option of doing an audio one. It was very interesting to learn a little of Hawaii’s history and see how the Royals lived. The audio presentation was very entertaining with excerpts read from old letters and journals that talked about dances or other special events that people had attended. No cameras were allowed inside and we had to wear booties over our street shoes. The two floors open to the public had just been finished in the last couple of years – up until then it was just a pretty place to look at from the outside.
