Day 5... To the North Shore

Day trip outing to the Dole Pinapple Plantation. We caught the 2nd Pineapple Express train of the day. Good to arrive early, as this place is popular. Their gift shop is huge, and of course, there is Dole whip!


Next stop, Waimea Valley. We did the hike to the waterfall, which was sold to is as a 3/4 mile, paved, flat hike. It seemed longer, and it was a trek in the humid conditions. After that we were hungry...


So instead of continuing on to Turtle Bay, we went to lunch at Haleiwa Joe's, on my 5 page long food list. K got the Keiki burger, with cheese, and added avocado. She said "this is the best burger I ever had!" I opted for the local fish sandwich, which was good, but a bit dry. Hubby got the Cajun fish (ahi) sandwich.


So, naturally, we cooled off with some shaved ice. If you are counting, that makes 3 in as many days. That's what vacation is all about! I got the tropical- guava, lilikoi, papaya, with condensed milk. K got cherry and watermelon. I remember going to Matsumoto's store when I was a kid, so it's been around a long time. The line was crazy! But well worth it. I couldn't finish my large shaved ice.


Went back to the condo, and hubby took K to the pool, as I caught up with the blog. Then, it was time to eat again! Headed to the local Zippy's, and a got a small portion Zip Pack, with teriyaki beef, fried chicken, and rice. Tempted by the chocolate dobash cake, also remembered from childhood, I got a slice to go. Yum!

A good day!
