Got up early...about 9am ....wahahahaha and headed off for Diamond Head. It was very hot and took about an hour to just get to the base and then THE CLIMB began. It started with a nice paved footpath which turned into a rugged windy upward path which turned into a TUNNEL and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse there were...THE STAIRS.....278 of them.
 |
| This is just some of them!! |
Met a couple of nice guys whose names I couldn't pronounce so I called them Billy Bob and Jimbo. Very nice ..in every way. Hmmm maybe I should have called him Jumbo!

| Billy Bob & Jimbo |
 |
Hmmm Nice view - scenery isn't bad either
|
Now getting back to THE CLIMB - talk about face your fears.....heights and tunnels!!!
 |
| This was the big tunnel - they others were much much smaller and claustrophobic |
 |
| Was worth the climb - gorgeous |
On the way back to the main area there were 2 Japanese boys - one on each side of the road like they were holding an invisible rope. It was so funny - nothing there but all the cars slowed down so they didnt hit it.

| This is a soft serve banana Ice Cream - for those who remember it tasted a bit like a banana Hi Top - but had a peppery taste. Was lovely |
The round trip took 4 hours and was 15 kms so pretty well bushed by the time I got back.
