loved this Buddhist temple with the mountain backdrop it seemed so peaceful
this was the best picture of the china hat taken from the bus
we stopped at several beaches along the way. didn't get to see any turtles they were all out in the water
no stop to the north shore is complete without stopping here:
it takes 18 to 24 months to grow a pineapple wow no wonder they are spendy
we even found the painted euculyptus tree there
but hubby took the picture and didn't take any of the tree just the bark. I was busy on the phone with the credit card company as we got a fraud alert while there great service but put a damper on things for me for a bit. it all worked out though.
so I had a little fun before heading back
