I told you I'd run out of superlatives.
We were back on the $2.25-to-get-anywhere buses today, making our way up to Monoa Falls. After the ride came a 30 minute hike through rain forest and red dirt. There were slightly fewer people than at Diamond Head but the slippy trail and signs warning of flash floods made it just as exciting. The falls themselves? Well, see pictures below.
We bussed back to town and chased down some more local culture with a trip to the Honolulu Surfing Museum (actually a bar with some surfboards on the walls...but free!) and then caught a free hula show. The ukuleles were out in full force, and a free lesson beckons tomorrow. "I'm leaning on a lamp post at the corner of the street..." etc.
Pushing through the lush tropical vegetation.
But is it to keep the Davids in or out?
Real rain forest.
Large blueberry. Although it tasted strange, and I don't remember anything about the three hours that followed.
The falls. I have seen better.
Back in town, at a Hawaiian cultural highlight.
Robert Duvall's actual board from Apocalypse Now (allegedly).
Picture perfect.
Hula band and dancer.
She could move!
