Aloha!

We can’t believe we are in day 3 already! We have done so many things that sometimes we think that we’ve been here for more than just 3 days!

Today, after our delicious breakfast, we left the hotel at 9am and headed to the North Shore. Our bus driver was so cool. Her name is Rhonda. When I got inside the bus, the first thing she told us was “What’s up dude?!”… The atmosphere was nice, she looked peaceful, friendly, showed good person she is…

In our way to North Shore we stopped at the Dole Plantation where we had the most famous pineapple ice cream in the world. There we also found out about our Hawaiian names… (ex. Vinicius is Winikueko…) After the ice cream we stopped at Haleiwa… a surfer’s town and we had time to walk around, shopped and get something to drink. The place was so nice.

Right after Haleiwa, we stopped at Sunset beach, where the big waves are, but just for pictures. We headed to Turtle Bay that is located inside a resort really cool. We had time to swim, play volleyball and just hang out.

At 3pm, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This is a place that we highly recommend to everyone coming to Hawaii. It is a great place full of history and beautiful things to see. We were also able to participate on the shows they had on the different sections of the place. After dinner, we watched a big show called “Ha… Breath of Life”. The show was beautiful and also all the history of the islands.

That was it… our normal day here is this paradise.

Thanks John, our Rotarian Chaperone and all Rotary districts for making our dream come true!

Mahalo from our hearts!
