Then we headed on up to Sunset Beach. And I decided to go in. That was cool - the waves were strong, and the beach dropped off suddenly, so it was deep. It was fun trying to body surf into the beach in the waves. It seems that the sand of Hawaii is composed of little tiny bits of shell that stick to you, wet or dry.
Australian sand tends to be a whole lot finer and dusts off.
Natalie and I then went wandering the shops around Waikiki, and the International Market. But on seeing the oysters at one stall, I just HAD to buy one to get a pearl. The pearl sits in the centre, and it's just beautful. The Royal Palace - Iolani Palace was built by King Kalakaua, Hawaii's last king before the US took over. The Memorial was built in Pearl Harbour, over the wreckage of the USS Arizona.
