We had a memorable July 4th driving the Pali Highway to the historic lookout and observation area, and continuing on to Kailua. We drove past Kane'ohe Bay up to the North Shore with the Pacific Ocean on our right passing many beautiful beaches, state parks, and shrimp shacks. We were disappointed that the Polynesian Cultural Center wasn't open yet, we started out very early this morning. We were hoping to see the most famous surf break in the world, the Banzai Pipeline, but there were no waves today. In the historic town of Hale'iwa we ate at Kua Aina known for their great hamburgers and Matesumato's, known for shaved ice in many flavors. Yummy! Our final destination was the farthest NW corner of O'ahu known as Ka'ena Point, where the paved road ends and only four wheel drive vehicles can continue. We walked in and saw just a few people. Very warm and windy. Our last stop was the Dole Plantation where I had some pineapple ice cream. Our last evening in Honolulu was spent at the Paradise Cove Lu'au. The scenery included another unbelievable sunset. They put on quite a show and Ange fell in love with the beautiful hula girls wearing only two coconut shells and grass skirts. We have a picture to prove it! Someday, I'll get the pictures on this blog.
