Honolulu, 26-29 July

		While in Hawaii, we decided to have some fun, and took a 90-minute catamaran cruise from Waikiki. *
		Waikiki from the sea. It really is that colour. *
		We spent a day visiting the Polynesian Cultural Centre, which explains the traditional cultures of the various islands and their people. *
		*
		Including a demonstration of climbing trees to get coconuts. *
		The day ended with a spectacular show in the evening, demonstrating traditional dances and customs ... *
		including fire-sword dancing. *

Let's look at some bits and pieces that don't fit elsewhere.
