After brunch and the morning's speaker, (who was not nearly as good as yesterday's) we rented and car and took an island tour of Oahu. When we first started out, it was rainy & quite cool. Our first stop was
Hanamau Bay which is supposed to have the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii. It was just too cold to jump in the water so we continued our drive hoping that we'd have time to stop back later.
We were told that stopping at a shrimp bus was a MUST. Giovanni's is the oldest, so we stopped there. It was north on the island just before Turtle Bay. Dan had the buttery shrimp and I had the garlic. It was very delicious! The garlic is pictured below and you can see the big chunks of garlic. Yummy.
We usually had the ocean to our right and landscape like this on our left, unless we were driving through towns which was quite often. Our drive was not quite what we expected. The scenery was beautiful but it wasn't as uninhabited and the traffic was fairly busy too.
A surfer on Sunset Beach. We were told that Lost is filmed on the north side of Oahu and also
Jurassic Park. The beaches were beautiful here and the waves were bigger than anywhere else.
