Waikiki, Hi


Today we went for a walk (some of us called it a hike) up to Diamond Head - a dormant volcano, where you can climb up to the rim of the crater. This is the view from the south rim, looking back north towards the tunnel we walked through, to get to the trailhead in the bottom of the crater.

This is the rather dramatic view looking west - here you can see most of the Waikiki Hotels on the beachfront. The amphitheatre you can see at the bottom of the picture is the Waikiki Shell. I think our hotel is nestled snugly in the middle - if you go directly up from the amphitheatre, it's the little one just above the green area at the top of the first hotel.

This was our hiking (ahem, I mean walking) team - (from left to right) myself, Morag, our friend Terry who had invited us, and his friend Lewis.

The sun goes down, as our aching legs start to stiffen!

Another wonderful sunset. You know you've had a great holiday, when you start to run out of superlatives...
