I might not post every time I re-do hikes, but we wanted to try to get to a sunrise on this hike. It was pretty cloudy and there was a wall of rain coming at us, but we’re glad we did it. This was Jess’ first time so I told her to come back.
We must’ve seen at least six rainbows this day from all the rain.
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.
