Aloha Everyone,
Today we battled road works traffic to get to Hanauma bay to go Snorkelling with tropical fish. Hanauma bay is a marine reserve full of tropical fishes and you just snorkel around in the shallows and they are all around you.
We got picked up again by the bus company and headed off for Pearl Harbour. We had pre booked our tickets to ensure we got into the monument and memorial, after a quick lunch of american hotdogs or nachos we went into the theater to watch a documentary about the attack on Pearl Harbour.
After that we boarded a naval boat and headed over to the monument. This was a time to reflect on those who had lost their lives in the attack. The names of all those who lost their lives in the attacks were printed on the end end wall of monument (including the sets of brothers and a father and son who went down with the ship)
After our time was up we headed off and had a relaxed evening before a free choice dinner.
Due to the good exchange rate I have been able to give the students some bonus money to help their food fund as some are getting to the end of their money now.
