The last day. There's no single person in the whole group who understands where our days went. Well, here is how we spent that last day. Oh, it sounds so sad. So, after breakfast (which was amazing as always)we didn’t take the bus, like most of the other days. Today we took the vans. Where did we go? Well, an amazing, absolutely beautiful gorgeous place. All 29 of us took 3 vans to go snorkeling. No, we didn’t snorkel in a van. And I would not like to try it. No, thank you! The vans dropped us near the Hanauma Bay. I know that most of you have no idea what it is, and that beauty is not able to be described with words. Even pictures can’t show how beautiful and wonderful it is. But, why not try to describe? Just for you.
What the Bay had in store for us was more than we had expected. Although the weather was somewhat unpleasant with moody rains, most of us were still able to make the most of the time we were given to swim with the fishes. Snorkeling was easily one of the highlights of the trip. Some of us even used the rain as an excuse to get under the water and find Nemo! The number of amazing fish we saw underwater is simply unbelievable, and two of us were even lucky enough to spot a sea-turtle! But soon enough, it was time to leave, and we piled into the vans with the excitement of going to a Luau..
Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to have this pleasure. But, our coordinator and monitors being as brilliant as they are, immediately came up with a backup plan. And may we say that this plan was completely foolproof because, who can resist shopping? Come on guys, we know you say you hate it, but at the end of the day, you’re carrying those Hollister bags too. The day got better as everyone finally got to eat tons of Sushi and shopped until we were broke (literally), and we headed back to the hotel.
The end got closer as we sat down in the conference room to discuss flight and shuttle timings, and yes, there were tears and “saudade” as the Brazilians like to say. Overall it was a wonderful day with a lot of sentiments, and Belo successfully gave the most fabulous time of our lives. Safe to say, none of us will ever forget these 7 days of surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and sightseeing the beautiful sites of Hawaii and all it has to offer. Mahalo, Hawaii, and Mahalo Belo for this blessing! We will certainly miss it and all the beautiful people we’ve met. We love you!
Well, obviously I'm the only parent who is commenting, but I have to say at the end: thanks to Belo, thanks to Rotary for all amazing things that our children experienced:)))
