We’re all settled in, we’ve stocked up on Poke for lunch, grilled our first steak meal out back last night, and have all clean clothes. I sleep really late for some reason, so by the time we get our act together – get off the phone with NCL arguing about our refund, etc.) it’s too late to get coffee at the Market, but we do take our morning (mid-morning) walk anyway.
After lunch, we decide to head up to the North Shore to see what’s happening. It’s a nice drive, and we are testing out the new GPS app we’ve just purchased. We were using the free trial version in New Zealand, and it worked well, but the trial version is over so we decide to bite the bullet and pay for it. It’s only $25 and it has offline maps worldwide. So we are playing with it while we drive. We know where we are going here, so it is probably a good thing we’re testing because there are some glitches.
We hit Haleiwa, stop for some cokes at 7-11 and then go to wander the North Shore Marketplace, which is awash with people, mostly Asians. After a bathroom stop, we get back out on the road, heading toward the beaches and the Pipeline. There’s not much going on in terms of waves, but oh my God, the people! We have never seen it this busy up here. There are people everywhere. The food trucks are packed. There are new food truck parks in at least 3 places, and they are all packed. It is amazing. We end up just driving around, not stopping anyplace because it is so packed and there is nothing we want since we’ve already eaten lunch.
Back at the cottage, we hang out a bit, then go to the Kailua Town Pub and Grill for happy hour. Drinks, Kailua Pork sliders and wings for appetizers – really good (except for the fries that were cold, but we really didn’t need the fries anyway). Back home, we had what was left of the fried chicken we bought at Foodland and hung out the rest of the evening.
