Pearl Harbour - Pacific Aviation Museum - USS Missouri

Day 8 - Tuesday 26/5/15 - up at 6 am (was a struggle) to go on day long tour to the above places. I loved it all and found it fascinating and extremely sad. So many lost lives at Pearl Harbour .

That's a bed right next to the torpedo - not for the faint hearted

Submarine Bowfin

Lunch - was magnificent

Who knew they had nuclear warheads way back then?

Honour list for the dead from USS Arizona


After Pearl Harbour it was on to The Pacific Aviation Museum - this was really interesting and the planes were spectacular.




Bullet holes from Japanese aircraft :(



Next on to the USS Missouri and the Memorial site for the USS Oklahoma





20 storeys high and three football fields long!!!

This is where the surrender was signed 



Letters from Kamekazi pilots to their parents just before doing the deed



All in all it was a great day and I thoroughly reccommened it to everyone if they get the chance to go
