Hawaii Hike

Saturday, September 01, 2012


It was supposed to be an easy and beautiful 2 mile hike up into the mountains.   But as we went deeper into our hike, we had forgotten that we were in a rainforest and it was muddy and wet and that slowed us down.   Thinking more about it now , Alex, Zach and David didn't whine about it, only me!  Alex and Zach pretended they were in a video game trying to avoid stepping on mud which could earn them bonus points when successful.   I saw some people jogging up (that is right, jogging!) along the muddy cliffs like it was nothing.  I think my fear of heights got to me.   
 
It was neat seeing plants that we do not usually see in California, like walking through this wall of vines.



 


Our feet were dirtier than what the photo below shows. 


There was a spot with a hose and scrubbers to wash our muddy feet.  I loved that!


The hike took most of our day and made us too tired out to do anything else except for a dip in the crowded, but still beautiful, Waikiki beach.
