So today, after breakfast, we packed up and decided to head out to hike Diamond Head Point. We heard that it has amazing views, and it is a fairly easy hike. After talking with one of the hotel concierge people, he had said he has even seen some asians hike it in heels. Haha not recommended. So we made the journey to Diamond Head. We wanted to go early, because if you wait to go too late in the day, I guess it is a pretty popular spot, so it just ends up getting crazy busy. Which..yeah...we no likie!
So we got there, and we started up the mountain. It was pretty easy, until you reached nearing the top and it starts getting a lot more strenuous...and then at the very peak..you basically have a squillion flights of stairs to the top to navigate. So, Yes, a high touristy area..but wonderful all the same..
We overheard this guy tell us, that the day before some guy put his kid on his shoulders and then totally ate it coming down the stairs, and I don't think he died..but he got seriously hurt..like honestly..what are you thinking!?! You weren't...Obvs.
Anyway though...pictures will tell it best..
Pretending to die...I didnt.
On our way up!
Abandoned stuff
So populated
A rainbow for my picture!
More abandoned things
The peak from the bottom
After we did the hike, we wanted to basically have a beach day...but the parentals wanted to go to this Hilo Hattie place...they had been raving about it all the days..Turns out..it is like Hawaii threw up in this store..seriously every cheesy Hawaiian tacky thing/typical souvenir you can think of..was thrown into this shop.
Just to get a glimpse...
The worlds largest Hawaiian shirt
Ugh totes Vom.
They even had these hula girls in blue tinsel glistening hula skirts, dancing to Mele Kalikimaka..really!?!
And they had these things where you pick your oyster...and then they ring a bell, make you yell ALOHA!! as they "bless" your pearl, and then they open it and see what color you got. I had to do it..I wanted my pearl dammit..and I got a pink pearl. Boo. I wanted a black pearl.
Anyways, after that, we were basically donezo with all of the shopping and stuff, and we wanted to just eat dinner and hang out by the beach. So that is exactly what we did, and just kind of kicked it the rest of the night.
