Thursday 12th February 2004, Day 152/366 - Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii.

Surf wasn't up as hoped so Mx and I had a spot of breakfast and then headed to Pearl Harbour. A few tips. The trip to the USS Arizona is free, but arrive early as there are only a certain number of trips a day. You can also take a trip around the battleship USS Missouri, which is where the Japanese signed the treaty at the end of the war. That costs $16 so we didn't bother. Another thing we didn't bother to do was the $8 tour of the submarine the USS Bowfin which is known as the Pearl Harbour Avenger. They don't allow day packs, fanny packs, diaper bags or the like on the boats so either leave them at home or you can store them for $2.

It's my last day in Hawaii and in the USA so Vincent, Keith, Liz and I hit the local hotspot 'Da Dawg House' as we had on the previous 4 nights. It's a local bar which is empty, but lively and we could play darts and pool and drink Corona for $2.50.
