Day 5

Today was just like everyday I have spent in Hawaii, amazing. Today I woke up and hung out with Hye Jung in the morning for a little. Then she went to work early and I just relaxed at the apartment until noon. Rader picked me up and we went to Waikiki for a little body boarding. The beach was packed but there were some nice 5-6 feet sets that came in. I caught a couple nice waves that I rode in to the wall but could never get past the wall and ride all the way into the shoreline. Just to explain it to you so you understand what I mean about ride it into the wall, where we went there was a massive cement wall that allows the waves to break. You basically wanted to wait about 30-40 feet in front of this wall in order to catch a nice wave and then ride it to the right around the wall.

We body board for 3 hours and the got out of the water and went back to Hye Jung's apartment. After a quick shower and a nice little rest, Hye Jung took me on an amazing hike. I forgot the name of the hike, but it basically followed an old railroad track up a mountain. The hike was in all honestly one of the toughest I have ever done. It was basically like doing the stair master for a hour straight. The incline and altitude change also made it tough to catch your breath. Once we got to the top, the trek was immediately worth it. The views are absolutely amazing. We hung out on top for like 10 minutes and then made are way down and back home.

Once we took shower and got ready, we left the apartment and went to pick up Rader. After that we headed out to Waikiki to a place called Dukes. Let me say this, Waikiki at night is crazy !!! There are sooo many tourists. It turned out that Dukes was way too packed and the wait was going to be over a hour long, so we decided to go to a Koren restaurant. Once we got there, Hye Jung did all the ordering. We got several different items that turned out to be amazing. The food was amazing and the experience was even better. After we left the restaurant, we took Rader back home and then went back to the apartment. It was a perfect ending to a long day.

On a side note, I forgot my camera in Hye Jung's car, thus I will post pictures later tonight. I am also going Skydiving today which I can't wait !!!!!!!!!!!! I will post pictures later today.
