We thought we would go to Diamond Head and walk up to the top of the volcanic tuff cone. This was a great idea until we looked it up and found it is currently closed Monday to Thursday for maintenance work on rockfall. So instead we walked all around it which was a total of 11km, which in 28 degree heat was no mean feat, think we lost a few pounds in sweat alone!!

On our walk back we came across this lovely little red mohican headed bird, a Red Crested Cardinal.
