Day Nine - October 16th, 2014

We woke up around 9:00, ordered breakfast, and then got ready. Once we were ready we headed out to Kula Eco Park. When we got there we bought our tickets and headed straight to the bird sanctuary. The birds were so pretty!! They would fly up to you and land on your finger if you stuck it out. One bird pooped on Megan's head and it was so funny! After we took lots of pictures of the birds, we headed to the aqua life section of the Eco Park. 
Once we got to the aqua life section we all downed a bottle of water and Krista ate a few peanut butter crackers. There were a ton of cool species of fish and we got to pet the sting rays. It was so cool! We watched two guys feed the sharks while we listened to a tour guide talk about different species of fish. The aqua life section has definitely been my favorite so far. 

Next, we headed to the last section of the Eco Park. This section had a bunch of cool animals and a really big iguana!! It was so cool! I got to see a chameleon change colors and that has to be the coolest thing ever by-far. 



We were all hungry for lunch so we finally left the Eco park and headed out to the car. I drove and Ashlyn sat in the front seat. We stopped at a small restaurant. The food was okay but I've had better. Once we were back at the hotel we changed into tank tops and jean shorts. We left again to go to the Garden of the Sleeping Giant.  

The garden was so pretty!! There were tons of flowers in all different colors. Ashlyn and Krista went in one direction and Megan and Meghan and I went in another. We looked around at all of the flowers and then admired all of the different sizes and shapes of the shrubs. We went to all three gardens and then met Krista and Ashlyn back at the grand entry. We left and headed back to the hotel. We gave the car to the valet and bought firewood from a store a few blocks down. We headed down to the beach and set up a campfire. Once it was lit we sat in a circle around the fire. 

That is when the boys we met arrived!  I swear it was the best day of our lives. The fire was perfect because tonight was a little bit chilly. The boys asked us about our trip so far. We told them how lucky they were to live in such a beautiful place. We all decided to make s'mores so Megan and I quickly drove to the store. We brought back a TON of s'mores ingredients. I think we could feed everyone in Fiji! The boys made sure that we were going to go surfing and asked if they could come. Of course we said yes! We decided that we would spend the last day of our vacation with them. 

All of a sudden we were sitting on the beach and the boys pulled out water-guns  Surprisingly they brought some for us! We got soaked, but let me tell you, it was one heck of a night! I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed it. The boys walked us back to the hotel and gave us all a kiss on the cheek goodnight!

Now Ashlyn, Meghan, and Krista headed up to the room to go to sleep. Megan and I went to the pool for a late night swim. The pool is so quiet at night and it was really relaxing after a long day. Now off to bed!
