Before we went to the center we went to the forty niner diner with the rest of the group. Not the actual diner but a walk up counter at one of the hotels near by. We got a big boy plate- three eggs, two scoops of fried rice, 2 bacons, 2 spams and 2 Portuguese sausages. It doesn't look like the full menu is available at the walk up counter, just the breakfast stuff.
Our halau is performing at the Polynesian Cultural Center later this afternoon. This place is huge and I could probably spend the whole day here but there wasn’t a lot going on when we got there. I walked past a lagoon show which was pretty cool. Each Polynesian Island has it’s on little section here. I spent some time wondering around and ended up heading to the Hawaii area to meet up with everyone else.
The Moanikeala festival celebrates Sally Moanikeala, The Polynesian Cultural Center’s first Kumu, with hula performances, live music, cultural demonstrations, poi tasting, hula lessons, and craft and food vendors.
After the performance we headed to the buffet at the center and it was amazing! There was so much food laid out. My favorite stations were the seafood station and the pork and beef station. I had so much poke, brisket and finished off with a dole whip. The garlic noodles were pretty good too!
After the buffet the halau participated in another hula festival at the Marriott Courtyard North Shore. The halau has performed here once before and it’s now turned into a festival. This year there were vendors in the pool area. This performance was a little more intimate than the performance at the center.
Today was the last day with the halau and a few of the haumana are leaving tomorrow morning. We’re staying a bit longer but moving to another hotel tomorrow.
Now that all the halau activities are over for the trip it’s all free time from here on out.
