Due to a mix up on our part we ended up with another night in Hawaii - an expensive mistake but it gave us a chance to explore more of Oahu. We got an all day bus ticket and headed for Honolulu.
This is the Iolani Palace...
...and nearby was the statue of King Kamehameha, first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii. There were a lot of nice old buildings in this part of Honolulu.
We went to the art museum but didn't go in, except to get a cold drink at the cafe. En route to the cafe we saw some art and sculpture including this doggie seat.
Next stop was the Foster Botanical Garden where there were some very tall palms...
...and some very big trees, as well as birds and butterflies...
...and this lizard.
Finally we headed back to Waikiki where we visited the war museum and learned about Pearl Harbour etc. Then we enjoyed the sunset at waikiki Beach.
Then it was off to the airport and back to New Zealand.
