Aloha from Kailua!
We started our morning with a delicious breakfast with the beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant has really fun lamps, they are big blowfish and they have colored bulbs in them. We love breakfast at Lulu’s! We hopped on the bus and on our way to Kailua.
First we made a quick stop at the Pali Lookout. We were blown away! Literally. It was so windy up there! It was a beautiful view of one side of Oahu. The history of the Pali look out is very interesting and made the experience a lot more exciting. We saw a lot of wild chicken. Here in Hawaii chicken are able to roam free and are protected by the government!
Next stop for the day was Kailua. This is where “two waters” meet. Once we arrived to the beach we got ready to go kayaking! We packed our stuff, put on sunscreen and got our lifejackets on. Once we pushed off a few of us tipped over right away. What a funny start to our kayaking trip. We loved the view of Oahu. The water looked so fake because the blues were too perfect! The coral reef was so close to us as we paddled over to the ocean. We made it over to Moculua and landed our kayaks. The island is a small bird sanctuary. We had lunch on the island and we all sat together on the beach.
We “hiked” over a little bit to get a great view of the ocean. We also got to jump in a natural pool formed out of volcanic rock! When the waves crash into the island it is just wonderful. Everything is so picture perfect. Later we left the island and stopped at the beach Lanikai. We got to swim for a while and play around on the beach. The water was so nice. Finally we headed back to the beach where our adventure all started. Whew! It was one of the best work outs we have ever done! We loved it!
Then we headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner! Some of us jumped in the pool and went for a quick swim. Then we got dressed to walk to California Pizza Kitchen. We also had some time to check out the International Market. We got to CPK and most of us could sit at one big table to enjoy our family style dinner. We had so much pizza! Pepperoni, Hawaiian, 5 Cheese, and Pepperoni, Sausage with Mushroom. Yum! For dessert we had little brownies, just big enough. We love having time to just talk with the other exchange students. We are forming good relationships on this Hawaii trip!
We are very happy and very tired from our long day! We are looking forward to sleep and a good day tomorrow! It just gets better and better!
