We started off our first full day in Hawaii by drinking coffee and watching the sunrise on our balcony. With a 4 hour time change-being up early was not a problem.
We then hit the road to Diamond Head and hiked up to the top...while wearing flip flops.
Basically you hike up a hill, take a set of 60 stairs, another set of 70 stairs and then the final set of 90 stairs. It's gets a little tiring.
And here is the view from the top. Craig actually took this picture because I was off in a corner complaining about it being hot, too many bugs and too many people. Go figure.
We then just randomly drove around and stopped at cool looking spots.
Which lead us to Hanauma Bay...
A cool ocean side view...
Yes that little white spec is Craig.
And Rabbit Island.
Craig was good and took pictures on the little camera...and carried my purse.
He's such a good husband...
We stopped for lunch...and my Sister-in-Law Angela called!!
You can see how excited Craig is to be on the phone while on our Honeymoon.
Next...the nice scenic drive to The PunchBowl.
The PunchBowl is the military cemetary on a huge hill overlooking Honolulu.
I took pics with my big professional camera!
I was amazed by how beautiful the trees were...
And they all had a yellow ribbon tied around them.
Once I was done taking pictures, Craig pulled out the map to find La Mariana for drinks at sunset.
La Mariana is a local place we saw on the TV show No Reservations. Craig located it and we went there for drinks at sunset.
This is such a cool place. It's right at the Marina and has been here for decades. They are one of the last places to serve Tiki Drinks. We got quite a few dirty looks for looking like tourists. This was definately a 'locals only' place.
We just sat back and watched the sunset...
The Rowe's!!
Ahhhh...Bliss
Stay tuned for Tuesdays Adventures!!
