Here is my diary about August 11 and 12th.

Since we took a looong flight from Helsinki, our first day was just sleeping like a bear or Tororo. I remember that even the housekeeping lady was coming inside, we did not wake up,hihihi. It was almost 15pm Of course, we got so hungry, so we went out to the small town ,”Laie”.

 finally woke up, and smiled @ hotel ” Turtle bay resort”

 Laie!

  looking at the map….Yeah, we got lost in the small town,boke nasu

There was some restraunt and market. Our first dinner was Chinese foods. It was quite big and heavy. I was forgetting about the fact that American foods is very big portion and heavy. The taste and price was decent. It was all right. Anyway, we were eating like hunger I did not care abour the taste. I just cared about the mount!

That was about it on the first day in Hawaii.

 Oahu island

On August 12th, there is a Dole plantation where is a pineapple field. We took a bus from Turtle bay resort to the Dole plantation. The bus driver was Very friendly, and he was talking to us a lot. Also, he gave us some chewing-gum! I felt very strange, because the driver in Finland is very unfriendly, and never talked to me…In Japan, the bus driver sometimes talk and chat with the people as well. After 40 minutes, I got noticed that the smell of air was so sweat like candy You can small so sweat after you get off the bus immediately! It was nice.

 Red Hair and rock’n roll bird!

  Welcome to Dole Plantation!

 Entrance

Also, a field of grand is reddish, because of the vocanic mountains around. The view was so cute around the plantation!!

 Follow the sign to go to Tokyo!

First, we got in the Pineapple Express that went around the field for 20 minutes. I never seen like that many Pineapple were growing in the field.

   Are U ready?

   View from Pineapple Express

Then, we took a tour of Plantation Garden. There were so many flowers for my first time to see. My favorite flowers was Hibiscus. In this garden, there were pink, red, yellow, and white Hibiscus. It was very pretty 

 

 

  Pineapples

   we planted the Pineapple to the field

Finally, we tasted Pineapple soft-cream and juice at Dole Plantation OMG, it was yammy My impression of Hawaiian foods…Of course, it’s Great From the second day, I was beginning to like Hawaii so much.

 If you eat too much Pineapple, next day is…..

Then, there is another tourist place is called North Shore. I think the place is famous for surfers. We went shopping and had a lunch there. I tasted the Hawaiian style of pork dishes. It was very similar with some kind of Japanese foods.

The weather was very nice at that time. But the Harricane was coming to Hawaiian islands. For that reason, we decided to have fun as much as possible before on Wednesday. According to the forecast, that week of Wednesday would be the worst day so…

You know, in Hawaii everyone is wearing the Hawaiian shirt.

I was busy lately, so I could not have time to upload for my Hawaian trip

Now, my next trip is waiting as usual, so I will try to finish up until next Friday!!

First of all, the flight was very long from Finland to Honolulu. Imagine that I had to have three tickets and it took 27 hours with transit time, Wow wow  Helsinki–>Frankfurt–>Sanfrancisco–>Honolulu

 Three tickets at the same time

 Ready for the trip!

We did not take a same flight, so Andreas went first and arrived in Hawaii first as well.

 Bye bye Andreas Have a nice flight! 

My back was killing me after all…

Anyway, my diary of Hawaiian is starting now.
