We first started off the day by going to the Dole plantation. The ground was muddy from the night before, making it even more challenging to navigate the worlds largest maze. However we still made it through with our heads held high and proud. The pineapple ice cream was amazing, topped off with actual freshly picked pineapple. It was a taste I never imagined.
Next, we got back on the busses and started to drive towards the Polynesian Cultural centre. As we made our way down the highway the drivers pointed out the beautiful beaches of Hawaii. They were incredible to look at as the giant waves crashed ashore. Then we got to the Polynesian Centre and discovered the multiple wonderful cultures of the Polynesian islands.
After before getting. Traduced to the different cultures at the displays, we headed out to the dinner area for our evening luau. There we sat and ate traditional Hawaiian cuisine. We even ate taro bread, which pretty much was purple bread. It tasted pretty good though. As we ate we enjoyed the sight of beautiful performers dancing on stage, even inviting us to dance on stage as well. I think that was a moment we will never forget from this tour.
When we finished dinner we went to a theatre and watched the play “Ha a breath of life”. It's a story about the life of children growing up on the different Polynesian islands, after we enjoyed the dancers and our Polynesian guide Boyd’s fire spinning, we were presented with a tiki as a trophy for performing in the Waikiki holiday parade to represent all that we have done in Hawaii.
By the time we got home and finished the meeting it was pretty late and we all went straight to bed. Tired but very happy after a wonderful day of sightseeing and participation.
