Day Five: Ala-Mo-Ana - oh yeah I know them.











Day five starts off with us saying farewell to Lucy's cousins - back to Lala Land they went. It was great having them around, but alas they had to leave due to commitments back at home. To cheer ourselves up, we headed of to Ala Moana Shopping Centre for a little bit of retail therapy.

Ala Moana is apparently Hawaii's largest shopping centre? Or was it just Oahu? I don't really remember, but yeah it was kinda big. It was outdoor-indoorsy, reminded me of Warringah Mall back here in Sydney. But yeah, there were SOME bargains to be had, but for the most part it was pretty expensive. Didn't buy much, only small presents for my family and for myself. As usual, camera whoring happened whilst at the shopping centre, but it wasn't majorly extreme.

The day ended with us just walking around Waikiki at night, watching street performers as well as further shopping over at the International Marketplace. We bought some grog afterwards and drank it over at Lucys Aunts room, had a late night just having a little chinwag with Ate Rina. We also made friends with these people from another building a few hundred metres away. Oh, and I also found out that they stopped serving grog at 11:50pm at night and that ABC stores close a couple of minutes after 11pm. Not very convenient for those wanting a bit of a late night grog fix.
