After a long day of traveling we arrived on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu on Saturday, where we met 55 people from all over the world. We got a lot of free time the first day to discover the beautiful beach, right across the street from the hotel, and relax with our new friends. 

Sunday we all met at the beach for breakfast at 7AM. It was warm, and sunny already. After this dream breakfast with a few rainbow sightings, the Hawaiian beach boys were waiting for us to give us surf lessons. Half of our group became surfing professionals, while the other half was wondering how good we were (while laying out to get tan). Everyone was able to catch the waves and to stand up. When the other group was ready, the wind was blowing so hard that they will have the chance to become pro surfers on Wednesday. 

After lunch, tanning, and some volleyball, we were ready for an amazing catamaran trip! First we went out to Turtle Canyon where we got to snorkel among fishes, turtles and an octopus! Then the boat went sailing around in the ocean, where we got to enjoy the music and beautiful view of Waikiki (the most famous beach IN THE WORLD!) and Diamond Head volcanic crater.

Than when we were all starving after this intensive day, we went to a pizza restaurant. So yummy :) At nighttime, we explored the main street off Honolulu were the ladies went shopping and the guys just hung out in paradise city (Waikiki)...

Now we are so tired and ready for bed. We need to be ready for another adventure tomorrow!!! 

Love from Honolulu, Hawaii!!!!!! 

Btw it is AWESOME here!!!!!!
