Honeymoon in Hawaii: Part II

And then we headed to Honolulu! (you like how I'm not addressing the fact I haven't posted in a month? lol) We stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village which was BUS-Y. I've never seen so many people in one place, but it was gorgeous!! There was always something to do and this half of the trip we actually stayed pretty active! Before we even checked into the hotel we decided to trek up Diamond Head! Diamond Head is a dormant volcano that the US Troops used for lookouts during the war. The adventure is a .75 mile walk mostly uphill that leads you to a beautiful view of Waikiki/Honolulu. Whew what a walk!!


We went through the pathway...


















Then stopped halfway to rest...and take a few pics of the crater!



Through the dark tunnel carved into the mountain...

And up these ridiculously steep steps...wow were my legs hurting after 2 sets of these!!


And then we were there!!





The way down was much easier!!


We then checked into the hotel and did some sightseeing around the hotel!



They even had little penquins!! How cute were they?

View from our room...





We had 3 full days of relaxation...







Whew...and it's not over yet!! Our last day was action packed, and it will be Part III!!
