Our first day in paradise was incredible. After yesterday`s long plane-rides, we were all ready to get on and about with our day and explore the island. Some of us woke up early to get our breakfast and bring it on the beach, while others ate by the pool on the hotel. After a breakfast consisting of fruit, muffins, and Hawaiian-flavored yoghurt (coconut, papaya, pineapple…) 90 excited teenagers were ready to hit the beach. We were divided into smaller groups to do different activities. While some participants tried to ride the famous waves of Hawaii, others spotted octopuses, dolphins, whales, and sea-turtles on a catamaran trip. We spent the day changing between these activities so that everyone got to surf the waves, ride the catamaran, and just tan on the beach. After a looong day swimming in saltwater, everyone was ready to get in the shower and wash off the sand. Several of the Scandinavians got a reminder that applying sunscreen here is extremely important because the sun is actually a little bit stronger here than up in the cold North. We ended the day with delicious pizza and some evening shopping. I think we all had a fun time talking about experiences from our exchange years, and making friends from all over the world.
