Day 14 - Flea Market and Bubba Gump's

Aloha Stadium

We're getting tired so don't want to do a lot of walking today, but Dawn had seen advertisements for the Flea Market at the Aloha Stadium, so we felt we had to go there. We had driven by the stadium each of the other trips, so likely could have found it without the GPS, but I dutifully punched it in. Strangely, she took us to the same place, but used a different route. We came from the other side, but drove right past the gate where we entered the Pearl Harbor site yesterday.

Flea Market

It cost us $1 each to get in, but the parking was free. It took a while to find a parking spot, but all the way around the stadium was the row of vendors. Lots of the stalls looked alike, and had similar things, but there were a few things that looked pretty interesting.

More Flea Market

One of the shops sold huge cinnamon buns, so I had to make sure we came back to that location before we left. We walked much of the way around the stadium, looking for things of interest, and then on the way back, we purchased some of the things that had caught our eye. After that, it was time to depart.

Corner View of Palace

Our next stop was to look for the Royal Palace. We did find it, but initially couldn't find a place to park. So, around we went until suddenly there were 2 open parking spaces, just outside the gates. We got out, took a few photos, walked around the outside of the palace, but weren't prepared to spend a lot of time walking on a tour. We likely should have, but my foot and legs were bothering me, and Dawn was very hot, so we decided to move on.

Royal Palace

We hadn't eaten today, and not much yesterday, so decided we would eat at a restaurant for lunch. When I asked the GPS for restaurants, we didn't know anything about them, so instead, looked for a shopping center. We found one that was not too far away and went there. It appeared to be in a fairly well-off part of town, and when we walked in, we decided to give Bubba Gump Shrimp Company a try. I had a BLT-Shrimp salad, and Dawn had Fish Tacos. They were both pretty good, but they should have been for the price we paid. Actually, it was fun to go there.

King Kamehameha

Then we decided to head back to our room to watch the Wild Card game between San Francisco and Pittsburgh. It was pretty much a whitewash for San Francisco (8-0), so wasn't much to watch. Not nearly as exciting as last night's game

After the game, we decided to listen to the Blazers game on the internet. Now isn't that lovely. The boys won 3-1 and we heard it all. Now we have listened to games from Waikiki and from Fort Lauderdale. I wonder which one is farther away from Kamloops?

Royal Judiciary Building

We were going to go out and eat at the Irish Pub, but after the cinnamon bun, we weren't hungry, so decided to just get some munchies from the store down the street. Then it was back to the room and kick back for the evening.
