| The bus picked us up at 6am- a very early start! |
Understanding the story and the history, the ramifications and the cause and effect is a pretty humbling time.
Tickets are really hard to get- the quote for each day normally run out very early. The only way to do this one is through tour group really, if you don't want to be waiting for hours on the chance you might luck a ticket.
Our tour group guide lined us up single file to walk into the park
We had some time to look at some of the museum exhibits
Then it was a move and taken by military personnel by launch out to the Arizona memorial, which had been constructed over the top of the sunken ship

Seeing the pride of the forces- understanding that some of the survivors choose to have their ashes reinterred in the Arizona when they pass on made you realise the magnitude of this place and of the history that occurred here.
A very special place, a very special memorial, sombre.
Then it was on to tour a decommissioned warship- SS Arizona.
