    We woke up really early this morning and drove to Pearl Harbour to get tickets for the memorial which we would go to later in the day.

      We then went for breakfast at Andy's where I had an acai bowl with granola and banana. It was delicious!

      It was then time to head back to Pearl Harbour in time for our tour of the USS Arizona Memorial.

      The navy drove us across the harbour to the memorial, which is built on top of the sunken USS Arizona battleship.

      The ship was blown up and sunk during the Pearl Harbour attack in 1943, taking 1177 officers down with it.

      They refer to the memorial as a "living cemetery" and some officers who survived the attack have asked to be buried alongside their crew when they pass away.

      The ship still leaks oil after 60 years and you could see it floating in the waves.

    After looking around the rest of the museum, we headed up to the North Shore.

      Some were swimming in the sea, while others snoozed on the beach and they looked so happy.

      This turtle was 35 years old and weighs 260 lbs.

      It was really tasty and so colourful. There was even a rainbow in the sky while we ate it.
