Hiking Diamond Head - What a View!

Aloha!

Today was an awesome day, we went hiking! 9:30 am everybody was ready in their tennis shoes to walk all the way to the top of Diamond Head. The way to the hiking trail was longer than expected, so everyone was already exhausted when we were at the base of the mountain. Luckily, we got to take a short break before venturing deeper into the mountain range!

 So we started to walk through the trail, with Alain running way up ahead because of his running challenge. The path became more rough and harder to travel the longer we walked, so the last few parts were really curvy and hard to proceed through. This added a cool feeling to the hike though, it felt like we were actually real hikers. When we finally got to the top after the tiring road, we got the chance to take some awesome photos and spent a good while at the top and enjoyed the view. After that we walked the same path down again and took a longer break when we got down.

Many of us bought shaved ice or smoothies for refreshment. So everyone was bracing themselves for the long walk back to the hotel, but we were surprised by a bus that would take us back to the hotel!!!! So we got back to the hotel and almost everyone went to chill by the hotel pool. It was really fun to talk to everyone during that time and the sun was still shining really well, so it was an ideal place to be. Later during the evening we went to a mall with the bus, shopped for about an hour before going to eat in the Bubba Gump. The food was really good!

After the hour we grouped up and headed back to the hotel, we recapped what we are going to do on Thursday in Pearl Harbor and ended the day, it was a fun one!
