During our December visit with our son and daughter-in-law in Hawaii we visited The Dole Plantation. We really enjoyed the garden, the train and the yummy ice cream. Unfortunately our d-i-l had to stay home with the newborn.
There is a nice gift shop entrance but we didn't stay inside long.
Several exhibits - Which way to go?
There are lovely orchids and other flowers in the guided tour garden area.
We have a ticket to ride -- the train goes all the way around the plantation.
There are fields and fields of pineapples and other tree and crop groves too.
From the far end of the circular track there are sculpted pineapple hedges and look at the mountain in the background!
Back at the park we found hungry koi fish in a pond.
There were chickens at the airport. Here is a mother and chicks at the edge of the Plantation parking lot.
Here are the chicks close up - so cute.
Thanks to all the nice people who have commented on my Saturday pictures. I am so sorry I have not had much chance to return the visits. I am a week behind again. :-(
