I actually had Kamehameha Day off from work which is surprising since most people don't have it off. I would much rather have other days off, but that's another discussion for another time. Anyways, I spent the late morning and early afternoon hiking up Diamond Head crater. If at all possible, start the hike earlier in the morning because it is dang hot at midday and there is no shade until you get to the top. You see a lot of people going up and down wearing odd things. One woman was wearing a dress, another older Japanese tourist was in a polo shirt and slacks, another woman was wearing golden sandals... definitely not stuff you ought to wear when hiking. The view was fabulous at the top, you could see the other islands on the horizon.
The panoramic pic is actually 7 shots stiched together using Microsoft's Live Photo Gallery program. It's free and works pretty good.
After hiking, I drove over to Haleiwa for Matsumoto's shave ice. Another place to go early if you are able since it was really crowded. I stood in line for probably over 20 minutes for my large rainbow shaved ice with ice cream.
