Luis Lan hikes Diamond Head early morning, covering 7.76 miles rated 8/10 difficulty, then hits Side Street Inn for lunch and hunts vintage shirts at Savers and Ross. A lost GoPro becomes a running worry throughout the day.
July 25, 2021.
$10 (parking).
$5 (hike fee).
About seven miles; a recorded 7.76 miles.
About 8 out of 10.
Oh God. This is terrifying. We lost the GoPro with the sick footage. It's five o' clock in the morning. We're tired. Got like five hours to sleep.
We're good, but we're up now. So.
We're up. Yep. And just for you, we're gonna go hike Diamond Head to catch the beautiful sunrise.
It's a paved path, so hopefully we.
Won'T trip cuz it's dark out and I'm not going to videotape any of it. So you have to do it yourself. So let's get going. Just kidding. I'll videotape it just for you, lovesies. The park does not open till six, so we've just been waiting for it to open. But we can see the sunrise over there while we wait because it is so beautiful and nature and things and much. Wow. Sa Sam.
Hey.
Overall, easy hike. 30, 40 minutes.
Some people knitted 25, 30.
Okay. Not too bad. Kid friendly. Old people friendly. And you have to go through a tunnel. So if you're claustrophobic. I don't know about that.
$10 to park.
Yeah.
$5 to hike.
Pet peeve. Okay. You have to pay to get in, but your payment doesn't cover your ticket to get into the thing. So then you have to go to like a little parking kiosk thing and then actually pay for the hike and then give it to some dude. And once it's already packed and it's seven in the morning, so it opens at six. Highly. Suggest getting there at six, knocking it out, getting some views before it gets too crowded because I can already see the people bumper to bumper up there just waiting to get up there. So come early. Drive up to this one was pretty intense. It literally went all the way up to like literally that little alleyway right there. We'll see. Let's stay tuned. Sa the circly rocks that'll make you eat it. Danger. Danger. Thank you, Steve. Appreciate the bench. Apparently this trail seven miles. I think we had enough. It's time to go back to the car. We finished. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
It was questionable, but we did it.
I'd say that's an 8 out of 10 on difficulty because it's hard going into it because it's up and down hills and then you have to do the up and down hills back and you have to become like a rock climber climbing all those rocks up and down those valleys. So very difficult. Amazing views.
Yeah.
Highly recommend.
The trail is about seven miles long, so turn around whenever you want. Really do not do it if it's been raining because it will be really slippery.
And it was already slippery.
It already was a little slippery.
Watch out for them rocks.
They're good size to roll on.
That's about it. We've hiked too much today. Seven miles. That's too many.
7.76 miles.
So we're gonna go eat some food now. We're extra hungry. So we went to a place that's gonna give us some bomb food. Yep. You'll see. We're at Site street in on the Strip. On the Strip. Let's go. Sam. Fried rice. What was it called? The works fried rice. And that Colby meat beef stuff.
And the passion fruit creme brulee.
That was just a. But the beef, boneless. Might I say, I think it could be the best meal we've had had so far in Hawaii.
I will have to say I've never seen him so quiet while he.
It was delicious. Side Street Inn highly recommend huge portions.
Like one plate is like a family.
So family style. We could have probably fed four people. But we didn't. Cuz it was so delicious and I ate it all.
No, we have a lot of leftovers.
We have some leftovers. I could have eaten more, but I had to tell myself, luis, you have to save some for later. So we have some for later.
Okay, now we need to go find the GoPro.
Yeah, we lost the GoPro with the sick footage. So if you seen the last video and the sick footage was on there, then we found the GoPro. But if there's no sick footage, it's just boring. Then we did not find it. So y' all probably know we don't. Let's try and find it. Let's go. I spent all my money on delicious kalbi. So I'm broke. But I still want shirts. So we're going to savers to buy some shirts. Some vintage shirts. Let's go. Sam just finished. Got a great haul. A bunch of Tommy Bahama and Tory Richards shirts. Pro tip. Come before Monday, sign up for the rewards program and then come on Monday. Everything's 25 off in case you're gonna get a bunch of shirts. What I should have done. But now you know. So you don't make the same mistake. Now we're gonna go get some stuff to eat maybe. I don't know. We'll see. Sam went to the matcha stand. It was pretty good. I don't recommend that cup thing. It had like rice and special. The special. No, that's the. The name of the. Okay, what went to the matcha stand, got the special I'd rather have the cone where it's just ice cream instead of the frosted flakes and all that other stuff in it. We also went to Savers and Ross by the matcha stick stand. The Ross surprisingly had some really good finds, but they didn't have my size. So I suggest going like Tuesday or Wednesday because that's when they get the shipments. From what I heard, you know, I got. I got my plug. He knows Tuesday and Wednesdays they get the shipments. So check out the RAWS 2 hour free parking. So just buy something. Hold up. That's what I was telling them. You buy something and then you get your parking validated for two hours right downtown where everything else is. So if you just want to park there too, just buy something at Ross and park there for two hours and then do it again. Exit and then come in. Maybe. But I didn't tell you that. That's it for today. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Like and subscribe. Peace.
