Sunday 15th April
Today we woke to another beautiful day in Oahu. We spent the day visiting a place called Kualoa Ranch. Kualoa is about 24km from Waikiki along one of Oahu's most scenic drives. Kualoa is approx 4000 acres and is privately owned. It is a working cattle ranch but is also the place where many famous movies have been filmed including Godzilla, Jurassic Park, Journey to Mysterious Island and Emily's favourite, 50 First Dates. We toured the ranch with its amazing mountain ranges on one side and the pacific ocean on the other. After our tour we were taken to a place called Secret Island where we got to Kayak, snorkel and just relax.
After returning to Waikiki we had dinner at the famous Cheesecake Factory. Dinner was nice but the cheesecake afterwards was amazing.
Well tomorrow is our last day in Hawaii before we fly to LA early on Tuesday morning. Not sure what is on the agenda for tomorrow, will decide when we get up!!!!
