Trolls in Hawaii - Paradise Post 2

Day 2 of the Troll's great adventure in Paradise began rather early with breakfast in the hotel's restaurant. No pictures there because they all were still tired and a bit disoriented due to jet lag, plus they all had just washed their hair and couldn't do a thing with it!

A vote was taken and it was unanimously approved to take the whole day and lay on the beautiful beach, take a nap or two, and just walk around checking out this beautiful hotel. It takes at least a day to recover from 9 hours of flights and a 4 hour time difference. The decision to lay around for a day was not regretted.

The morning of the 3rd day began with breakfast at a nearby Denny's (the food was just as good as the hotel's and less than 1/2 the price!). Then into the car everyone jumped and headed off for the North Shore and a road trip around the eastern half of Oahu.

After traveling up H2 to Kamehameha Highway, the trolls had
to stop in Haleiwa for a shaved ice at the famous
Matsumoto store. Yummy!

Arriving at Haleiwa Ali'i Beach or "King's Beach" on the
north shore of Oahu. The Wai'anae Mountains are
in the background.

On the famous Waimea Bay beach, world famous for
"Big Wave" surfing. Was made famous in the 1964 movie

At Puu O Mahuka Heiau, an ancient sacred temple site
from the early 1600's where wives of the chiefs gave birth and
human sacrifices were conducted.
