Aloha kakaiaka!
After another delicious breakfast with an amazing view over Waikiki Beach, we rode to Pali Lookout in our bus. On the way, our awesome Samoan bus driver, Junior, told us interesting stories about Hawaii and its history. Fortunately the rain stopped just before we arrived there (it is one of the wettest places on the island). While we were there, we were able to take pictures of the beautiful scenery and we also chased wild chickens!
It was pretty cloudy so we crossed our fingers for the sun to come out again. From there, we drove to Kailua- a beautiful beach town on the east side of the island. Most of us kayaked for a few hours, but some of us stayed on the beach and had a great time playing volleyball, swimming and relaxing.
Kailua had a great restaurant called Muzz's, where some of us ate lunch and took it easy. The kayakers didn't have a relaxing time at all- we had the workout of our lives! But it was worth the hard work hen we saw the beautiful island and the beach there. After kayaking the waves and wind (some of us fell in the water and saw sea turtles), we safely landed on the island, where there is a bird sanctuary. Sandwiches for lunch… and a lot of sand and sunscreen. We all enjoyed the white sand and turquoise water, and were rewarded with red skin.
After a rainy bus ride and hot showers, we had a great dinner at the "lua’u" (Hawaiian for "a diverse buffet" or "smorgasbord"). Excited but exhausted, we're looking forward to another amazing day in Hawaii!
