Hawaii

---

Hawaii was fantastic. We didn't really do much, just relaxed.

However we did go to Pearl Harbour. It was a eerie sight to see the U.S.S Arizona sitting just under the surface.

We also boarded the U.S.S Bowfin, a submarine commissioned on 7th December 1942.

Plus we went to the U.S.S Missouri. The significance of that ship, is that it was there, that the Japanese signed the Instrument Of Surrender on 2nd September 1945. That brought and end to the war in the pacific and, ultimately, the war all together. We stood in the very spot where that signing took place.

After that we went to The National Memorial Cemetery Of The Pacific. It was a harrowing sight to see so many names.

We met a few interesting characters in Hawaii. Like Rob from New Jersey. We had an interesting night with him.

Plus we caught a cab to a pub that my friend Maria had told me about called the Red Lion. The Cab driver had been living in America for 30 years and could bearly speak english. Very interesting stuff. Plus he took us from Waikiki to Honolulu then back because he had no idea where it was. It turns out that the pub was literally 50 metres from where were staying but it would have costs us like $2.60 but we paid $10 so hmmmm.

Hawaii is LUSH!!! n we had a nice relaxing time just cruisin.

So this brings and end to our trip and updates.
