Today was our first day off, and we made the most of it. :)
We got up early and hiked the Ka'ena Point trail. Our friend Ramona went with us, and we were on the trail at 6:30 am. The coastline road that goes around Oahu ends at Yokohama Bay, and there is only a trail for several miles. It's almost 3 miles to the most western point of the island, and the hike along the ocean is beautiful. We loved walking along the rocky coast, and we saw humpback whales spouting water in the distance.
When we got to the point, there were Laysan Albatross nests along the trail, and we had to be careful not to step on them because sometimes the nests are in burrows. Since they only nest once a year, we were excited that we got to see them.
We hiked back out to the car, and rushed back to make it in time for church. Waianae Baptist is right beside Pu'u Kahea. They open the sides of the building on Sunday mornings, and the breeze blows right through. Ahhh... Oh, and we enjoyed the service. :)
After church, we drove to the north shore to enjoy the rest of the day. One of our first stops was at a little beach where we saw these guys...
And a nice lady took our picture.
At La'ie Point, a 1946 tsunami punched a hole through an island to create this arch.
We had fun watching a brave soul jump off a high rock.
We stopped at a few more beaches on the way back to our apartment. It was a wonderful day!
