We left the Dole Plantation and headed towards Laie to see the Temple and go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. As we headed North, we saw more pineapple fields.
Brian saw this type of tree in Australia and liked it so we took a picture.
And we stopped for shave ice at Matsumoto's. (We tried many different places, each with their own spin on shave ice while we were in Hawaii, and Matsumoto's was tied for the top spot on our list. It was also the only place we went to twice!)
A little ways down the road after Matsumoto's we started driving near the ocean and seeing lots of surfers. I told Brian we should stop and watch for a few minutes and by the time he decided to stop the car, we had passed a big crowded beach and come to this little quiet strip of beach. There were still surfers there so we parked and went and sat for a bit.
It was a beautiful spot.
After being there for 5 minutes or so we noticed some people taking pictures of something in the water. We joined them and got to see 4 sea turtles!
You really have to blow up these pictures to spot the turtles.
Brian talked to a local surfer and he said that turtles were here everyday eating the green stuff growing on the rocks. We were pretty excited to see them and decided we'd come back the next day with our swimsuits and waterproof camera to see if we could get a closer look when we had more time.
