Haleiwa, Turtles, and last day


We enjoyed sitting and watching the surfers at Turtle Bay in the mornings.


On the drive to Haleiwa, we finally saw our first turtle.


There are many shrimp trucks and they are always really busy. Shrimp farms abound in the north shore.

Hanging Loose



Mormor took us out for dinner last night. Mads tried cheese on his burger for the first time and loved it. Who wouldn't?




The weather here changes even faster than in Calgary in terms of clouds and wind.



I took Mormor to the Polynesian Cultural Centre for the day and the rest of us hanged at the beach and pool.



Daddy and Mads are snorkelling here.

Turtle Bay Resort and Kawela Beach



Grilled cheese again, and cheese balls for lunch!


We haven't seen any turtles yet at Turtle Bay, but Daddy and Mads saw a Seal on the beach having a nap.


The guys rented bicycles to get to Kalewa Beach while the ladies walked.





There is a famous banyan tree near the beach that seems to have a bunch of neat hammocks built all around into it.




Mads has really picked up his snorkelling skills.





Bobs got lost on the way back as he rode ahead and Mads was really sad about it because he said his brother means a lot to him. Daddy found him 15 minutes later.

Heading to the North Shore


On our last night in Waikiki, we had dinner with Mormor at Cheeseburger in Paradise, right by the hotel. We enjoyed the sunset while we ate.
  

Then we drove back toward Julie's house and stopped at a windy Waimanalo beach.
   
 Julie and her partner made a delicious asian style chicken salad.



And grilled cheese sandwiches just the way they like them.

  

We saw all the shrimp trucks on the way up the coast to the Turtle Bay, but we weren't hungry enough to stop at any of them.
