Saturday

Since we missed out on breakfast on Tuesday, we drove back out towards the North Shore to go to Ted’s Bakery.  I had the Spam and eggs breakfast while Jeremy went with the Portuguese sausage and eggs.  Both breakfasts came with cornbread which was the most light and moist cornbread I have ever had.  Overall, I would consider the breakfast worth the trip.  I read on their website that they had a chocolate macadamia nut pie so Jeremy went in to see if they had a single slice.  He didn’t find that, but he did bring out a slice of their famous chocolate haupia cream pie.  I don’t care for coconut, but haupia is delicious and the chocolate haupia pie was even better.  My only regret was not purchasing a whole pie.  So what to do after breakfast, but go to Matsumoto’s for shave ice.  The prices were very low and the flavors were delicious.  I got the tropical which was guava, lilikoi and papaya and Jeremy got the rainbow which was strawberry, lemon and pineapple.  We both loved our respective ice.

It was with sadness that we bid farewell to the North Shore.  After a quick regroup at the condo we walked across the street to the Honolulu Zoo.  The zoo was way smaller than Point Defiance, had a pretty awesome bird exhibit, but nothing was over the top impressive.  It only took a few hours to do so we still had the evening left.  I did my most favorite thing of vacation; I spent time in the laundry room washing our clothes.

After dinner at LuLu's yet again, we went to the actual beach on Waikiki for the first time since we arrived.  We walked along the shore and a little ways out onto the rock wall.  Coming from newly found sand connoisseur, that sand was so fine and easy to rinse off and I’d give it a 10/10 for fineness and color.

Based on a suggested from our Oahu Revealed guidebook, we visited the Snow Factory.  What is snow you ask, well, we're not really sure.  It's like they took an ice cream base and shaved it into long strips and put all sorts of happy things on it.  The consistency is comparable to frozen cotton candy.  It's super light and not once did we get brain freeze.  Mine was vanilla base, macadamia nuts, condensed milk and mochi.  Jeremy's was a mango - passion fruit base with condensed milk, mochi, mango bobba and passion jelly.  Both were amazingly delicious!
