Surfing & Sailing!

The beginning of our catamaran adventure...

We passed by the surfing group :)

Then we got out to Turtle Canyon...

Where we got to swim with sea turtles!

We got back on the boat and did some sailing...

And some sight-seeing...

And just relaxing...

We saw Diamond Head crater (which we will hike on Wednesday)

And we got a beautiful view of the sunset before dinner!

ALOHA!!!

After a delicious breakfast on the beach, we walked to Waikiki beach and split in two groups. While the first group took surf lessons and learned how to surf the Hawaiian waves with the help of the awesome surf teachers, the other group went sailing on the big catamaran. The group who went on the catamaran saw a beautiful view to the Waikiki beach from the deep blue Pacific ocean. We saw sea turtles, different kinds of fish and some of us saw whales. We really enjoyed to jump into the clear mix of dark and light blue ocean water.  The water was warm and we really enjoyed our time on the catamaran just relaxing in the sun and listening to some cool music. After we came back we had some free time and could go eat lunch or just relax on the beach. Some of us played volleyball against some local Hawaiian people, and had so much fun all together.  Of corse we let them win so they wouldn't be sad (cause nobody has a chance against the European stars)! 

After having some rest and free time, we went to a restaurant and ate pizza and celebrated Karen's 17th birthday. The last hours of the day were passed with shopping and free time. 

We had an awesome day that we all enjoyed by learning about each other. This group has just everything. We all have a great time together and we are looking forward for an awesome week with an awesome group of exchange students and really nice staff.

A hui ho! (Until next time)....
