Big waves and the Polynesian Islands!!

Aloha! Today was an amazing day! We all were kind of sore from surfing but we had fun anyway. The first thing we did was get ready and have breakfast, later on we got in the busses and headed to the city and visited the Capital building and the Iolani Palace. The Belo staff told us about the story of the monarchy of Hawaii. All the girls took a picture with the statue of the queen and the boys with the statue of the king.
After that we went to the dole plantation and we had free time to buy pineapple whip, a bracelet with your Hawaiian name, get temporary tattoos or just relax. 
Then we went to a little town on the north shore called Haleiwa and had lunch in a Hawaiian burger place where you could get a really good pineapple burger. We had more free time to see the stores and walk around.
Later we drove to the famous Sunset beach which has huge waves and took some pictures. After that we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and watch two shows, both of them were really funny! We watched a movie in an i-max theater with chairs that moved. We had free time and we went on a canoe tour and the last thing was the big show where they showed the story of a man named Mana. The show had a lot of difference dances from the different Polynesian islands and guys that juggled with fire. 
The whole day was a lot of fun. Now we are in the bus on our way to the hotel and half of the people are sleeping- it was a really intense day. We are really excited for tomorrow when we will relax on a beautiful Hawaiian beach!
