This is a Eucalyptus deglupta (Rainbow eucalyptus)

Shark's Cove
Chris, myself, and the kids were busy exploring and snorkeling. This is one of our favorite spots to snorkel there are so many beautiful fish to see.
The Hawaiian Railway
The Hawaiian Railway is the only railroad still running on Oahu. We took the Sunday 90-minute long ride which departed from the station in Ewa along 6.5 miles of track to Nanakuli and Kahe Point where the train stops for a few minutes so passengers can admire the beautiful view of the ocean which happens to be at the end of the trip and then it returns back to Ewa. But during the trip we saw mostly desert terrain until we hit Ko Olina resort and the beach view.
In the train yard you get to see some of the train cars that have restored and occasionally make the 90-minute trip.
