Lanikai Pillbox Trail

hawaii, hawaii.

oh how i miss you.

jevan and i went to oahu for our honeymoon 9 years ago

but this time i feel like i got to see and do WAY more this time.

i LOVE hiking.

so i had lots of hikes planned for hawaii,

we got to do all except for 1 

because we were having so much fun snorkelling that day we decided to ditch the hike and stay.

the first day we arrived we did Lanikai Pillbox Trail.

jevan had gotten no sleep on the flight

but still wanted to do this to beat jet lag.

this hike is SUPER easy,

totally kid friendly and has amazing views.

it took us maybe 20 minutes (if that) to reach the first bunker

and then maybe another 5-10 minutes

(depending on how many people are walking that day)

to reach the second one.

the first bunker was always crazy busy when we went,

so my advice have a quick look and then head to the second

- the views are completely the same.

at the first bunker jevan looked like he was going to pass out

because not only was he exhausted,

he didn't have breakfast when i did.

SO i had to feed him up with red frogs we still had left over from the flight.

after starting our holiday with this beauty

we knew we were in for a fabulous time away.

after this hike we drove over to the north shore of the island

and visited the polynesian cultural centre.

this was one of two things that jevan requested to do

and the poor guy had to do it half asleep.

my favourite thing at the night time buffet was still the purple rolls,

oh man they are good.

to say we had THE BEST SLEEP EVER that night would be an understatement.
