For some of the students who weren’t afraid to miss some sleep, the day started at 6am with a hike to a mountain to watch the beautiful sunrise. After the amazing sun coming out of the Pacific waters, we came back to the hotel to have breakfast with the students that did not go.
Shortly after, we were ready for “Hanauma Bay” at the west side of the island, where we went snorkeling. We have the chance to discover the gorgeous coral reefs and the beautiful diversity of colorful fish, relax on the beach and enjoy the hot sun. We spent just enough time there, and we came back to the hotel and got dressed up very Hawaiian to go to a Lua’u.
For us, the Lua’u was our chance to come together as a group to celebrate the fantastic week full of fun, excitement, happiness, learning, growing and Aloha-spirit. We were dancing, singing and laughing. Everyone was excited but also a bit sad because we were aware of our departure tomorrow. At the Luau we were able to see a lot of different shows. Next to the fire dance from the islands f Samoa, the Hakka from New Zealand and of course some different kinds of Hula from our favorite island of flower bracelets, the Hawaiian way of bowling and hula dancing classes on the stage.
It was a wonderful evening. After luau, we got back in the bus and went back to the hotel to start saying our goodbyes…
