Musings on a Museum

A little about The Breakers  - it is a two story hotel wedged in between some major skyscraping resorts.  As the guide says ”You’ll either love it or hate it”.  It is hilariously dated-looking and could use some major TLC (note the stained bathroom mirror and the chunks of veneer, long ago fallen off the cupboards).  But, our room is clean and I am charmed by the lanai (deck) overlooking the pool and the shoji( sliding paper screen door), going out to it. This is where we are eating our take-away sushi lunch.

This morning, we walked the two blocks to Waikiki Beach for a great swim and then Doug and I wandered through some of the gardens of more upscale hotels and admired the exotic flowers.  Flora is supersized here and one feels a little like Alice, among leaves as long as your leg.

This afternoon we hit the Bishop Museum for a look at ancient Hawaii.  The building is as much a draw as its contents. 

The late afternoon and evening was spent at the poolside chatting with some Australians, moving to...where else?  ...Victoria!

We are over our jet lag and ready to roll.
