Back in 1980 something this guy from California decided to buy a bunch of land. He then thought it was too pretty to keep to himself so he turned it into a public garden. If only everyone was that benevolent! It was a short 1.4 mile loop, but after the fast paced day we had yesterday we took our time meandering.
There is a legend about how the two rocks got there… it was said a tribe was being attacked, so a couple sacrificed themselves to protect the village. The next day these two rocks appeared outside the bay and the boats wrecked on them.
I gauged four hours for this but it took maybe two… so we made an impromptu decision to drive up to Waipio Valley lookout (an hour and 15 minute drive)
We did get to “see” a whale (see that tiny white splash? ha.)
Finally we headed to the airport! We got there early enough to hop on an earlier flight back to Honolulu, which we were all very thankful for. We ended up home almost two hours earlier than planned. I was very thankful for the low key last day… my lungs were sore from the day before. Surprisingly, Monday, they had recouped a great deal and I was very impressed/happy with my recovery!
Captured a couple great shots from the air, too. Hello Diamondhead and Waikiki!
