Malasadas are Portuguese donuts, I’ve posted them before talking about visiting Leonard’s. It’s a really popular thing here for some reason, so I bought some for Erin to try as a post hike snack. This time we tried Agnes’ food truck in Kailua. These are traditional, no fillings like Leonard’s has. I don’t have pictures of them, but they tasted ok. I think I preferred filled ones.
We made our way up Makapu’u Lighthouse trail starting at 8:45am. There was plenty of parking. Some of these pictures should look familiar. That’s Diamond Head.

View missing beautiful ladies.
I wish I had my polarizing lens for these… next time! It would reduce the glare
This hike is the best.
We were done by 10am and it was so hot I wasn’t really hungry yet, so we drove to Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden to eat at the pinic tables surrounded by pretty mountains. (OK, we’re always surrounded by pretty mountains, but these are a lot closer). As I had been there before and we didn’t want to spend too long there, I took her to the highlights.
