    Day 460: Honolulu

    Jul 5 - Our remaining time on the trip is increasingly focused on all the stuff we need to do after it. It takes until noon to get away from online searches and go out. Stop by the Waikiki Aquarium, one of the cheapest places we can go visit here. It is small but very well put together. They must have some real professionals taking care of the salt-water tanks, as I’ve never seen such a good display of living soft coral other than in the ocean.

    Wander around in some parks afterwards.

    Statue of Queen Kapi’olani (her name means ‘arch of heaven’, meaning rainbow). She was consort to King Kalakaua, who reigned 1874-91. After his death, she became Dowager Queen until her death in 1899. She was an early convert to Christianity and spent much of her time helping mothers and their children through various government institutions on the island.

    Waikiki Beach. The sand buffer here looks OK, but there are areas where the surf gets very close to the buildings. It seems unlikely that this was always the case.

    Last manhole cover of the series. This one was put in long before Hawai’i became a US state.
