OK so where am I? Day three I think? Well early start and off kayaking at Kailua had one heck of a wind going on so it was a very interesting and hard paddle. Once we got over the breakers it wasnt too bad. Paddled out a quarter of a mile and checked out the Wedge tail shear waters and were lucky enough to see a chick (they arent supposed to be hatched for another 3 weeks). Snorkeling was a total bust all I saw was a shoe and my dri-bag ended up drier on the outside than the inside which is definitely not the point of them. Back to the hotel and found my way to the Alii Kai sunset dinner cruise. Checked out the Polynesian show and the lights of Waikiki. Not much of a sunset but the show was brief but good.
My last day and it was a really bright and early start for the sunrise climb up diamond. Climbed 560 feet along a 1.6 mile path and learnt the reach of Rotary...saw a bin donated by the Waikiki club at the summit of Diamond Head. Very tiring walk and took 2 hours in total. The sun was well up by the time we got to the summit but at least the heat wasnt there. After that and it was time for packing up and checking out before heading to the marina to catch my boat for parasailing. 700ft/213m/57 storeys up and talk about a view. Definitely one of the scariest things Ive ever done but well worth it and a great way to end my time before going to the airport to say Aloha Hawaii and Hello New Jersey.
