First thing this morning we went to a souvenir flea market thing. Around Aloha Stadium a few days a week, they have a ton of vendors there selling really cheap Hawaii souvenirs. We were told this was the place to go to get them. It was your typical shirts, magnets, hats, necklaces, hawaiian souvenirs. We just bought a couple things including a dormant Plumeria that we can plant when we get home. We may go back another day to get some more souvenirs.
Next we went to the local farmers market. This is something we try to do on all of our trips wherever we go. it was a really good market and had tons of local stuff including lots of good flowers and fruit. We bought a lot of fresh fruit including mangoes, papayas, pineapple, oranges, and avocados. One specialty thing they had there that we had heard was awesome was fresh made ginger ale from local ginger. It was awesome.
After lunch, we went hiking at Manoa Falls State Park. It was a rain forest trail that led to a waterfall. I (Josh) had been really looking forward to seeing some rain forest areas up close so I really enjoyed this.
After the hike, we headed to the BEACH. We went to a beach east of Honolulu away from the beaches packed with tourists. It was a really great. When I think of amazing beaches that you would see featured on the travel channel or something, this beach is what pops in my head. It was beautiful. The sand was good, water was a great color, cool trees along the beach, small islands in the distance, and big volcanic mountains in the background. We stayed there for a few hours and had a really good time.
After we got home we picked up some to-go Korean Barbecue and ate at home and watched a good movie (Zombieland).
It was a good day. Click here for more pics.
