The trail was in here and would lead us to the beautiful waterfalls! The trail was great! It was fairly flat, and paved - in the beginning, anyway! It soon turned to this.....
Yep! Muddy, rocky, terrain with tree roots thrown in for us to step over. Part way through, however, we came across this - something that you don't see everyday (unless, of course, you live in this part of Hawaii)!
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!!
Hah! We had more muddy, slippery, ankle twisting trail to follow in order to get to the waterfalls! Oh, and also, you might need to cross a river bed about five different times along the trail. We were informed of a shortcut (never fall for those words). It was like climbing up a slip and slide! I think the local resident also forgot to mention the stairs - steep stairs. We are almost there and we get to this point......
This is the trail for the rest of the way. We started out wearing tennis shoes, but at this point, we opted to go barefoot. We finally got to the waterfalls and the kids had a great time!
This little adventure took considerably longer than we had anticipated, and we were completely exhausted by the time we got back to the car. Monique was supposed to be doing another class at this point, and we still needed to get back to the air force base where all of her school stuff was. When we got to the base, she had decided to not even worry about class - she would catch class via the archive instead.
After relaxing for a couple of hours we went back to the hotel and then walked around Waikiki. I believe we all slept extremely well Tuesday night!
