Today, Andrew was able to leave work early so we went on a small tour of the southeast corner of O'ahu. Our tour included:
1. views of Diamond Head
2. Kahala (the Hollywood of Hawaii)
3. Hanauma Bay (The bay floor is actually the crater of an ancient volcano that flooded when the exterior wall collapsed and the ocean rushed in.)
4. Blow Hole Lookout (it was a quick view from the bus since the parking lot was under construction)
5. Sandy Beach (the waves here were about 3-4 ft but get to about 6-8 ft, and less than 1/2 mile out the floor drops 2200 ft!)
6. Makapu'u Lookout (the newest part of Oahu is located here with the black rocks)
7. Nu'uanu Pali Lookout ( this is where the Battle for uniting the Islands took place. It was also hit on December 7, 1941 and a Japanese plane is still in the mountains)
It was great to get out and see the nature of O'ahu. It was absolutely gorgeous. We can't wait to see more this weekend. We will be sure to share our pictures with you all!
Aloha...for now!
