In the NZ winter, Epsom Girls Grammar Geo department headed for a bit of summer sun in the middle of the Pacific. Heralded losely as a Geo trip to study Tourism Development, it really was rather an excuse for some beach and shopping arcade time!
We stayed near the famous Waikiki beach and did some trips to see key sites on Oahu. Top left shows the Pink Palace Hotel on Waikiki waterfront. In the middle is the girls wearing their Leis and right is Waikiki Beach with volcanic Diamond Head in the background.
