...Continued from yesterday: On Tuesday morning we had breakfast again at the Hale Koa Koko Cafe, After breakfast we walked, ...which we took across town then switched to the number 1 bus, We were most interested in an exhibit on the internment of American citizens of Japanese descent in Hawaii during World War II, After our tour of the museum we took the number 1 bus back downtown. ...which was home to the royal rulers of Hawaii until 1893 when Queen Liluokalani was overthrown and the Hawaiian monarchy ended.

Then we took the bus back to Waikiki and, since the day was hot and it seemed not right to stay on Waikiki Beach without once going into the water, we took a dip in the ocean. Not being a swimmer, I generally don't go into the ocean beyond ankle-deep, if at all. We returned to the Koko Cafe for the fabulous dinner buffet. Among the offerings: The salad bar: The dessert bar: I had: All divinely yummy! After dinner we walked along the beach checking out the beach bars of the hotels in search of some Hawaiian music. ...so we entered through the hotel lobby, ...to the terrace bar where I had a sparkling water and Tom ordered a frozen beer, which was an ice-cold beer with frozen foam, Then we walked through downtown Waikiki,
