We're back.

Spent a day traveling from Miami to Honolulu. This included a 90 minute delay on our LAX to Honolulu flight which came on top of a four hour layover in the world's most boring terminal.

Went for a walk around Waikiki which looks exactly like the movies. Had a big kahuna breakfast - eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns plus an additional plate of pancakes.

Drove around the island to the Polynesian Cultural Centre which is a place where you can get a taste of 6 Polynesian cultures: Hawaii, New Zealand Maori, Tahiti, Fiji and of course (Santo), Tonga.

Each culture has it's own village and one can see that although similar they are all considerably different. We got to make a fish out of coconut leaves, went to a luau, saw a canoe pageant and finished up with a spectacular live show, which involved fire twirling.

The place has been voted Hawaii's number 1 paid attraction. I'm guessing that the beach is the number 1 free attraction.

Today we're going on a submarine trip to the reef.
