Day 190 - Waikiki, Hawaii, USA

Day 190 – 15th December 2005 -10:00 GMT Total Miles 36724

Had a lie long in, when we eventually got up Jill and I made our way to Ala Moana for some lunch and a wander around. I went back to the hotel and met up with Reece and we caught the bus to Diamond Head, which is a dormant volcano.

We paid our $1 entry and climbed to the top of the volcano for a spectacular view of Waikiki and Honolulu as well as the rest of the island. We managed to get from the bottom to the top in 12 minutes as we speed marched our way up.

We took a bit of time at the top to take in the view before coming back down.

We then caught the bus back to Waikiki and back to the hotel. Chilled out in the hotel for about an hour and then Jill and I walked along Ala Moana Boulevard to the cinema and watched King Kong with our mate Jack Black in it (see Day 104). The film was over 3hours long and was very good, we then walked back to our hotel and watched TV until I fell asleep.
