| Our first stop- Pali Lookout |

| We learned very quickly that Nu'uanu Pali means Cool and Breezy Cliff |
 Welcome to Kailua Beach!  |
Kayaking was a lot of fun and also challenging We each shared a kayak with a buddy and shared the rowing to make it easier...  75 of us went out kayaking together and had an adventure! |
 |
We love to kayak in Hawaii! We made it! |

Looking good and fit after four hours kayaking and swimming at one of the world's best beaches! Jumping pictures are a must while on the beach :)

| Ready to party??? |

| We are! |
On the morning of our fourth day, we headed to Nu'uanu Pali (Cool and Breezy Cliffs). From this high point, we could see all the way to the coast, plus all the houses, ridges, and buildings in between. The view was unforgettable, and even though it was a bit rainy, it was still a great place to take lots of pictures. After taking it all in, we made our way to Kailua Beach.
Even though it was still overcast when we got to the beach, we were very excited for kayaking. We was worried the rain would ruin it, but instead, it made it even better. At first, the rain pounded down hard, soaking us before we even got a chance to get in the water. Soon enough, the sun came out and it felt so much better. There is nothing better then getting dried from the warm sunshine of the Hawaiian sun!
All of our hard work paddling paid off when we laid our eyes on the remote beach that was our final destination. It was different from other beaches on the trip because it was just the trees, the mountains, the ocean, and us. It was a great feeling to be able to run around the white sand and jump in the ocean. We had the whole beach to ourselves!
Soon enough, it was time for us to head back and join the others in our group back on our launch beach. I was dying on the way back – the wind was strong, the sun was hot, and the water was splashing on my face. When we finally got back we were so relieved. Even though it was hard, we were so glad we did it.
Afterwards, we showered and got ready for dinner at the Hard Rock Café.
The restaurant was amazing! Not only was dinner tasty, but the atmosphere was perfect. Cool decorations, upbeat music, and good company with all my new friends. When the music started playing and we stood up on the tables, we forgot how tired we were and just had a great time with each other. Everyone in the restaurant was taking pictures of us because we were 100 exchange students dancing in the middle of Hard Rock. The waiters even came and danced with us to "The Time (Dirty Bit)" by Black Eyed Peas. It was a very memorable dinner!
Many of us ended up sunburned, all of us ended up tired, but it was all worth it because we made some memories for a lifetime- all in one day.
