Lots of pictures

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to change the order of the photos on this (which also means that all the photos are in a wacky order), so you're being started off with a picture of Tom's hip! We went surfing today (it was SO SCARY and SO MUCH FUN) and he wanted a picture of the booboo where his hip was digging into the surfboard.
I learnt how to put my hair up using only a pen, like my mum does, and was proud of it so Tom took a picture. Sorry to be starting off with such dull photos.
This is Eggs'n'Things, a restaurant out the back of Beachwalk. It serves breakfast, and no matter what time of the morning you go there, it has a huge queue of people waiting outside. This was about 9am.
One of the pools where we live. We still haven't been in either of them.
Our kitchen.
Our bathroom - the glass is to make washing sand off our feet easier!
Tom getting ready to go out.

Pearl City, taken from the USS Arizona memorial.
Our room, looking a teensy bit messy.
The bus stop!
Walking home from the bus stop.
-Mad Japanese women using umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun. It's way too hot to wear trousers, too.
At Pearl Harbour, there was loads of war paraphernalia around, including half a submarine. Tom pretended to be driving it.
Changing the course...
Although this suicide torpedo had an escape hatch, it was never used. 86 Japanese soldiers died in one of these, including 16 in training. I think it said that only one managed to do any harm to American ships.
The memorial, from the boat.
Part of the USS Arizona, which was still kind of visible just under the water from the memorial. 1177 sailors died when it was sunk, and nearly 900 of them are still in the ship.
Tom's dad sailed on that submarine Tom was driving earlier! Only they misspelt his surname and middle inital.
Tom working a machine gun.
The USS Bowfin - a submarine that was built specifically to avenge Pearl Harbour. It was launched on December 7, 1942.

And to end with, a picture of our ticket to Pearl Harbour. More on surfing later!
