Day 5: Thursday

So, on Thursday, we went out to Kualoa Ranch. It's this beautiful Valley, where they have filmed a lot of scenes from various movies, and TV shows. We did an hour long ATV ride through the park, and stopped at a few places along the way. It was a really neat experience. :o)

The Mountains on the outside of the valley. These are seen in Jurassic park.

Overlooking the ocean on one of our stops.

This was an actual Worl War II Bunker that they used in the war. This was a scene from the Movie Pearl Harbor as well.

They took us inside the bunker, where they had posters up of all the movies/TV shows that have been filmed there.

The making of the foot print from Godzilla. The foot print is still there. It was originally 10 feet deep, but they have cows on the ranch, and they kept falling in the hole, so they had to fill it in to 2 feet deep instead. :o)

This was just a model of the valley.

The 4-wheelers. Mike was all bummed because they were governed at like 20 mph. :o) they were really strict though. If you stepped one foot out of line on the tour, they kicked you off, and you didn't get your money back or anything. It's a good thing though.

The "famous" tree in Jurassic Park, that the people were crouching behind when the T-Rex came out of the trees.

The Valley. this is where the Japanese planes flew through when Pearl harbor was attacked. When they filmed Pearl Harbor, they filmed it in this same location, and used real planes. The lady who gave us our tour was there when they were filming, and she said it was crazy there.


This is where they filmed part of Lost. It's Hurley's golf Course, if anyone actually knows what that means. I didn't. Haha. :o)

These mountain formations were supposed to look like Kissing Gorillas. If you look closely you can see it. :o)

One of the Godzilla footprints.


Plumerias. :o)

This is what they call China Man's Hat. It's just this big rock off shore, out by Kualoa Ranch.

Yes, that's my husband. Climbing a tree. :o)

This is at a Macadamia Nut Farm that we found somewhere along the way.

An old macadamia nut processor.



We were supposed to go eat at the Crouching Lion Inn, and my parents were going to pay for dinner for us, but when we got there, it was closed for remodeling, so we ended up driving around. We found this GREAT beach though. It was a perfect spot for swimming. The waves were very minimal, and it wasn't very deep. We had a good time here. I loved it. :o)

This is at Bread of Life Bakery, which the Clarks reccomended to us. It was wonderful. This lady makes some awesome bread, sandwiches, soup. My goodness. It was SO good. And she was SUPER nice. It's no wonder Mrs. Clark loves her so much! :o)



Well, there you have it: Day 5. sorry it took so long!!!! :o) Hope it was worth the wait though. Hope you all are having a great day! :o)
