Now that your stomach is filled and you’ve done some deep relaxing we are on our way to our first adventure hike. 🔅Note: I am in no ways a fit hiker but slowly I worked my way up to one of the most magical views of the island. Come late afternoon so the sun is not beating down your skin. At the very bottom of the hike you can treat yourself to some dole ice cream 🍦
