Journal Day Four - Wednesday April 2
The Band of Blue started the day with another wonderful breakfast in the park and an early morning shopping spree at Hilo Hatties. A windy and chilly, but breath taking, experience at Nuuanu Pali Lookout followed.
The band then visited a macadamia nut farm on the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The day came to an end with dinner and free time at Waimea Beach Park where whales were seen, games were played and many enjoyed the sand between their toes.
Thanks for the numerous emails and feedback over the last several days!! Please keep them coming, feel free to email us at: webmaster@jeffinhawaii08.com
