On Friday we decided to go hike Diamond Head, an inactive volcanoe not far from our house. The hike isn't too bad but it was packed with tourists. We did the hike Hawaiian style, in flip-flops. It really was pretty from the top!
Here is the view from the top of the crater of the volcanoe. The only thing in the crater is the visitor's center and the people collecting money for you coming in. For walking into the park we had to pay $1 each. I figure that money goes to pay all the employees they had down there to insure they got their money. They even yelled after a couple that didn't realize they had to pay.
Here is a look at Waikiki and downtown Honolulu farther in the distance. It looks like quite the mass of buildings when you look at it from this angle.
Isn't Hawaii pretty?!? It almost looks like a painting because the water is so clear.
Proof that we really were up there and didn't just steal the pictures from someone else's website and post them as our own! The sun up there was so bright it hurt to look at the camera.
The worst of the staircases we had to climb. In my dislike of heights I was not excited about having to go up these, knowing that I would have to come back down them. As you can see people go up and down these at the same time when really there is only room for traffic going one way. Definately not my favorite part of this hike.
