Aloha...
20th July
A frequent visitor to Hawaii, Rushi & Pracheeti had told us places to visit and one of them being diamond head crater. So off we went in the morning in our hiking gear, by a city bus which took us to the community college at the foothill of the crater mountain. This is situated at south east side of the island. A huge crater created volcano with an Diamond shaped head facing the sea. We started our climb in to the crater first, (had no idea cars can go up to here)
Then the actual hike of from bottom of crater to top of diamond head was toughest we ever climbed. Trekking thru the near vertical mountain for two seniors, one with a new hip n coil in the heart & other pretending to be brave but shit scared of heights. But we made it....hurray... The sense of achievement along with a view to die for... Was all very worth the effort. One guy at the top was giving away certificates to show to everyone's cardiologist. Ha ha..
Climbing down was not so difficult but not easy for a height fobic person like me. 'Don't look down'... Was the mantra....
Return to hotel victorious and boasting to our children. With a little rest we went shopping to largest mall, Ala Mona center and later a quaint dinner in a Italian restaurant.
