Michael only had a few days left on the island and wanted to get some hikes in. So we did three hikes in three days. What is the best way to start off theses hikes? 1048 steps up a 1208 foot tall mountain sounds good. The first hike was strait up Koko Head trail. (featured in Hawaii five-0)
Michael and the tall trail ahead.
The view is worth it though!
Looking down at the crater and botanical gardens on the other side. In the future I'll take some pictures while down there.

For day two of hiking we took "The Bus" half way up a subdivision and started walking up from there.
Our destination, the Wiliwilinui Ridge Trail.
The trail was covers in pine needles...
But Michael took care of that as he went.
Oh look, more steps up!
As we hiked a dark ominous cloud came over us, but we trudged on, to find!?...
A radio station antenna.
At last we made it to the end of the trail. And as it looks we also made it to the end of everything. God must have ran out of paint when he got this far or maybe the world really is flat.
Headed back down.
I feel like I just walked up all these steps!
Michael was just in front of me a second ago. Where did he go?
Found him.
On the final day of hiking we first checked out Kailua beach and found a painting class.
After that it was time to go check out one of the few light houses on the island, Makapu'u Point Lighthouse.
The sea around this coast is a whale sanctuary. And a picture never lies so we must have seen these whales. (Really bad Photoshop job you say? What, I don't know what you're talking about. What is this Photoshop you speak of? Is it a place to go by photos?)
The coast is a little step here. In the background you can see Sea Life Park.
Here are the tortoise and hair islands. Otherwise know as Manana and Kaohikaipu Islands.
We found the light house. Surprisingly it was below us and this was as close as we could get.
This is either a loving cactus or a tricky one that wants you to hug it.
And that concludes our three days of hikes and also Michael's visit. Bye Michael.
To see who is paying attention, who saw the winged unicorn in this post?
I didn't see a unicorn... Nor do I remember one in real life when these events took place.
ReplyDeleteWas the unicorn in the clouds? In 2.5 months, I'll be there! Can't wait!

Yep, it is in the clouds.
