We had a beautiful day at the beach together...
And stopped along the coast to see some whales out in the ocean!

"From Here to Eternity"
Today Tuesday February fifth, we had an awesome day.
First we woke up to a delicious breakfast on the beach, and then we took a bus to a beautiful viewpoint, Pali Lookout to take pictures of the palms, blue sea and sky high mountains.
We then headed down to the most amazing beach I personally have ever seen, to eat picnic. We played Football, Volleyball and had fun in the enormous waves. We then were so lucky to have a Belo staff who is a yoga teacher and showed us some basic moves. Trust me, it “looks” (I didn’t participate) funny to see 90 girls doing yoga in in 20 square meters!
We then went back to the hotel for about an hour of free time, to change clothes, shower and relax before dinner. We then walked to the restaurant and got some pizza.
After the dinner we went out to the city to check out the street dancers, and other performances on the street, and of course to go shopping in all the stores until the night time. We then walk back the hotel for a quick briefing about tomorrow’s program. When people got the needed information we went to get some after-sun, water and whatever else we needed for tomorrow.
Excited for another great day tomorrow!

ALOHA cousins!
As usual, we woke up early today and had some awesome
doughnuts at our breakfast at the beach.
Going on with the daily activities-- we went sightseeing at Pali
Lookout, which turned out to be one of the prettiest places we’ve been in
Hawaii so far; it was definitively the windiest one, too! All the girls’ hair
was flying everywhere… The pictures were fun.
The day continued and we shopping for our lunch and headed
to the “Sherwood Beach”. It’s a really pretty beach attended by local people.
We played volleyball, football, and practiced yoga but the funniest part was
going into the water. The waves are so big and the current is so strong that it
was hard to keep your bathing suit on! But it was so much fun catching the waves
and body surfing like Barack Obama likes to do.
On our way back to
the Hotel, we stopped at the “Blowhole” and saw Sandy Beach… And we also got a
glimpse of some whales, which come here from Alaska to mate. At the sightseeing
place it is also possible to see the “From now to Eternity” beach. This last
beach is, particularly, the most gorgeous place we’ve seen in Hawaii so far.
In the hotel some of the people went to the pool and the
rest of us got ready earlier to go have some pizza! After some good Hawaiian
pizza, which included pineapple, of course, we had some free time. Some ice
creams, a lot of shopping, and just being around friends later, we went back to
our rooms to sleep and got ready to hike Diamond Head + snorkeling tomorrow.
