Day #9 - Saturday - Sea Life Park and the Dole Pineapple Plantation



We spent a wonderful day with Adam and Jenni today. Adam was able to take a day off work and so the four of us spent the day sight-seeing. First we drove up the North side of the island on our way to Sea Life Park. This picture is of Rabbit Island.


Then we arrived at Sea Life Park and enjoyed several hours of shows and fun with the animals. We enjoyed their shows and displays very much. I have over 100 photos and it was hard to choose.
Then we drove almost all the way around the island to the Dole Plantation. We rode the train and took the guided tour. We learned lots about pineapple, cocoa, bananas, etc. Did you know that a banana plant will only grow one bunch of bananas and then it is cut down and they plant a new plant. It was very interesting!Doesn't Jenni look cute here!!
We thought the colorful bark on this tree was cool so we took this photo.

After sight-seeing, we went to a grocery store and stocked up on food and then went back to Adam and Jenni's apartment and cooked a wonderful dinner. We ate fresh guava and pineapple and enjoyed the evening with them. Word has it that friends are coming over to meet us. It was a great day.
