After some deliberating on what to do today, we decided to head to the beach! Then we stepped outside and the 50 mph winds made us turn around to make a second decision. We got the weather report from Dana’s friend in Kailua to see if today was a good day for a waterfall hike. She gave us the go ahead, so we drove to Maunawili Falls for a fun 3 hour hike.
It’s unreal to walk through what nature has to offer. There was a bamboo forest…
…we had to hike through some streams, over some rocks (which I almost bit it on a few times).
And finally we made it to the waterfall.
The water was freeeezziinnggg but we sucked it up and jumped right in!
We chilled out on some rocks for a little bit and enjoyed the view.
We also watched people jump from a million feet high and cringed every time they hit the water, which was very entertaining.
On our way home, we were starving so we stopped at South Shore Grill for some yummilicious fish tacos with some garlic fries & mac salad on the side.
Afterwards, we picked up some supplies for a BBQ we decided to have tonight. We got some fresh pineapple, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, steak & chicken. We marinated the veggies in some Italian dressing and the meat in some delicious teriyaki sauce and skewered them up! Some friends came over and we just chilled out with some Longboards, Hapas, Stellas, & a few bottles of wine:)
This is Dana & Carlos's new humble abode...it's sooo cute!!
This morning Carlos picked us up some Malisadas (hawaiin donuts). They are so fluffy and covered with cinnamon & sugar…soo delicish!
Then we headed out to Waikiki for my first surf lesson from the most fabulous surf instructor
…miss dana herself!!!
I definitely got up on the board a few times and I rode a wave in for like 2.2 seconds, but it felt amazing! I eventually got tired from paddling my life away and rode the white cap in on my knees back to shore.
Dana’s friends hooked us up with some beach chairs and an umbrella,
so I recuperated for a few before we headed to Duke’s for a burger & beers to celebrate my successful first surfing experience.
Danaburger had to do her thang over at Jimmy Buffet’s after our fabulous day, so my Nook & I took a stroll to the beach to watch the sunset.
Now it’s off for some St. Patty’s Day fun w/ Erika! :)
Stay Green<3
