Just finished hiking up the mountain to Manoa Falls. The reviews on google says it’s an “easy” hike. I beg to differ. Easy means gravel paths that even Granny can go up. We had to climb up large boulders and walk on a 2-foot ledge where one mistep will take you tumbling down the mountain. There were some FOBs that decided to wear high heel sandals, clogs, and flipflops. Good luck to them. Maybe they have secret Tarzan skills that I don’t have. But the end was so worth it. The whole hike was so gorgeous and the waterfall was breathtaking.
Yesterday, we scuba dived for the first time. It was so beautiful down there (approx 40 feet). But both calvin and I decided this isn’t something we would do on a regular basis. Mostly because my ear is still popping and it has been over a day. Plus I had a lot of trouble standing up with all my gear cuz it was so heavy. But it was awesome. We did it with Oahu Diving. They were awesome people, definitely recommend for anyone interested when they are vacationing in Oahu.
Right now, we are eating more shaved ice at Wiaola Shaved Ice. It is this ghetto chinese dirty hole-in-the-wall place but highly rated on Yelp. And we have to agree. I had the azuki bowl with mochi (see pic) and it was delicious. The ice is so finely shaved that it just falls apart on the spoon. So so good, have to agree with the reviews that this place is better than Matsumoto’s. And they sell spam sushi. Tastes just like it sounds but so good.
We are trying to pack in as much stuff as we can before we leave tomorrow. I don’t want to leave. It is so nice here. Sigh!
