Day 3 in Paridise

We hiked to the top of Diamond Head

 On our way to the top.

We had to climb lots of stairs to get to the top.

View from the top.

Looking over Honolulu

Looking back into the volcano crater.

After our hot hike we needed something nice and cold to cool us down. YUM!

Next we headed up the coast to the Blow Hole. This area along the coast was BEAUTIFUL!!! We could have sat all day and watched the waves crash against the rocks.

Next we drove to Kailua. We had lunch at a pizza shop and then rented a double kayak. I was very nervous at first. I knew that I wasn't very strong or good at paddling. What if the waves started to take us out sea. Once we looked at where we put in our kayak, I decided that we would be okay.

We were told to paddle out to the island that we could see, but  told that past that the current would get a little stronger.

Here is Doug taking that kayak back to the place we rented it from.

We survived and had a great time!

The last thing we did was walk along Waikiki Beach. It was so peaceful to walk along the beach and put our feet in the ocean.

Day 3 was such a great day. We packed as much as we possible could into the day.
