 KAYE AND ERIC'S HAWAII VACATION
Friday - we went to Kualoa Ranch.
At the ranch, they offer visitors several different activities...
Kaye on the bus.
The first thing we did was take a bus tour of the ranch. Here's Kaye enjoying the view. The bus was a rickety old school bus that had been modified - it was a real piece of junk! The windows were cut out and the whole thing was falling apart! On boarding the bus, we had to step over the hole in the floorboard or we'd have fallen through to the underside of the bus. Can you say lawsuit? haha
What the heck is this?!
Any guesses as to what this picture is? Keep your mind out of the gutter now!

Answer

Mountain Fortress
Kualoa Ranch used to be a military fort. This is part of the old bunker. It goes deep into the mountain behind.
Bunker Entrance
One of the openings in the rock face to allow access to the bunker.
The Bunker Entrance
We were allowed to go inside. There were lots of photos on the walls of the bunker. It was huge inside.
Incredible View
The view was gorgeous! The water was clear enough to see the reefs.

Jurassic Park Movie Photo
Maybe this will help. Lots of movies and TV shows were /are filmed at Kualoa Ranch, including Jurrasic Park.
