P2P: Hawaiian Island Discovery

First we went to breakfast. I had French toast. Next we went to Kualoa Ranch. There we walked around the place saw and tasted some fruits and nuts.

Then we took a boat from the ranch to Secret Island. You could swim, kayak, play volleyball, ping pong and badminton. I didn't want to swim so I helped Jarma find Jobe's Tears. Also we found some little seashells. She told me that she collects them. I got quite a few of them for her and some for me.

Oh ya, I forgot before the Island we found Apple Snails and their eggs and squished them. [Below: Ambassadors work with Jarma to scrape snail eggs off the stalks of the tarot plant. The snails are an invasive species and many delegations have taken turns this summer ridding this pond of the snails.]

Ok, back to where I was. We looked for the Jobe's tears so she could play Hawaiian checkers. She gave me a brief description of how to play. Next, we rode the boat back to the ranch then left.

On the bus ride back to the hotel we watched some of the Fantastic Four. The movie kept skipping and we didn't get to see the end.

Well, we arrived at the hotel, we got settled in for about an hour. Then we walked to the international food court. I had Italian food. Next we walked back and that brings us to now. I'm going to sleep!
