34 - Hawaii

Well rested, we set out for some island exploration!

We drove a crazy-winding road (Tanalus Rd.) to a beautiful overlook of Honolulu.





Then we took a hike through a forest that they used to film some of Jurassic Park.



The hike ended in a lovely waterfall (Manoa Falls).






The adjoining park had trails that were a never-ending tropical garden. 

Amazing flowering plants by the thousands!  Enjoy the walk!






























We then drove to the other side of the island (it's a small island!!)

Lanikai Beach view:



Kailua Beach:




Then it was time for some dinner!  We found a marina restaurant near the KoKo crater.



I had some "Poke" - pronounced PO - KAY.  It's a traditional Hawaiian dish with veggies and raw fish cubes.  It was yummy!

...Looks just like Hawaii 5-0...all very lush and jungle-y...you know I've never seen Jurassic Park...

Love,
