Hawaiian Honeymoon - Day 3

Day 3

Wednesday was the day we decided to rent a car and drive around the island. It was rainy (more like sprinkling) so we chose a good day to just drive around.

 This is the center of Honolulu. Their roads were like 4 lanes but completely surrounded by buildings. It was weird and hectic. The scenery was very pretty once we got out of the city.

 These trees are so funny looking. I was amazed that trees like this existed, but I am easily amused by things like this.

North Shore

We made it to the north side of the island in about an hr and a half. That is nothing compared to driving from Rensselaer or Thayer to Muncie.

 We were both confused by this blue stop sign. It was in a parking lot, but I never once thought I would see one of these.

 These were the waves at North Shore. They don't look that big in the picture but in person they were absolutely huge. There was no way either of us were wanting to get in that water. The beaches were actually closed this day because of them.

Relaxation

After driving around for a while, we headed back to just relax before our Luau.

Luau

While planning our honeymoon, we decided we would go to a luau. In reality the food was weird but the story, music, and dancing was very cool/interesting. The reason the food wasn't that good was because it was "authentic" Hawaiian food. It was a good experience though and we hit up McDonald's afterwards. :)

Before the luau

 

 They started the luau out with this girl twirling balls on a string. There is a name for these, but of course I can't remember it.

 The performers switched outfits at least 5 to 6 times throughout the night. The cool thing was that they were telling a story. The whole luau was about where the Hawaiian people originated from and a little bit about their culture.

They ended the show with the guys twirling fire but my camera wasn't doing so hot. Mixing low lighting with movement makes taking pictures extremely difficult.
