We went to "Don Ho's " for a quick bite to eat and then watched the Hawaiin music and hula shows at the Aloha Tower Mall. We had been there with Russ and Paulette when we went on a cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversaries in 2005. Later, we watched fireworks out over the ocean.
On New Year's Day we went on a hike on an old highway, which was an engineering feat for its time. Nuuanu Pali State Park is situated at a notch in the Ko'olua Mountain Range. There is an old legend that King Kamehameha fought the last warriors who were defending O'ahu and pushed them over the mountain range to their deaths. An extremely strong wind blows you back over the ridge when you go to the other side and it is believed that the wind is from the warriors still trying to beat back Kamehameha.
