We decided on going on a whale watching tour today. We went on a nice ship but the sea was really choppy and the wind was really blowing hard. We couldn't tell it from the shore, but you can see in the pictures the waves were high and there were a lot of white caps. It made it really hard to see any whales but as we were heading back we saw one whale. It wasn't above water very long but we had a good vantage point to get some pictures as it surfaced. We paid the price of being in the wind for a couple of hours because our faces are really wind-burned.
When we got back we decided to walk the street in front of the hotels and by the beach. Did a lot of window shopping but didn't buy anything. We did find a great place to eat some fresh fish and walked back. About 2 miles of walking so we were tired and got back to the room about 8:00.
Tomorrow (Friday) we have a tour of Pearl Harbor and the rest of the island. The tour leaves at 6 AM so we have to get to bed pretty soon. The next day we fly to another island to see the volcano. That leaves at 4:30 AM. (Don't these people sleep over here?)
Because we won't be around the room very much, we probably won't hook up to the Internet until Sunday. We should have a lot of pictures by then.
The first picture is of the light house on Diamond Head. The other two pictures are of the whale. Some of the people on the boat never did see the whale. We were on the water for about 2 1/2 hours and I still feel like I'm moving as I'm writing this post.
