Moped anyone?

Why on earth did we think it was a good idea!

My parents and I decided to rent them for 24 hours, wohoo sounds fun right? Well within those 24 hours we managed to make a disaster out of it - but we had the time of our lives!

My mother Yvette got lost  at night making it so my other mother and I rode around in CIRCLES looking for her. We saw the same damn cheeseburger shop about 14 times. Finally after a very long two hours we decided we are NOT leaving the hotel and we will wait for her outside and looks who drives up all with smiles and happy - my damn mother! We decided to lock are bikes up for the night after that experiance and all was well until my mother dropped someones bike onto hers and tore a hole in the seat & Tammy burnt her leg with the muffler, woops! We all got the giggles and someone had an accident but I won't name any names ;)

Day Two with the mopeds was going to be much calmer we decided! We wanted to use these things to our advantage so we woke up early and started off on our journey - Diamond Head! Beautiful views around it and was a great drive, we decided to drive in to see the crater and they wanted us to pay 15$ to stand there and look at grass! Hell no. So we made a illegal U turn and got outta there as fast as we could! After that mess we decided to take the highway to go see the bay on the far end of the island! Beautiful drive and seeing all the land was awesome! Saw more houses than buildings and that was nice. We decided not to do much swimming over there yet because we only had a couple hours left on the moped and we want to use our full moneys worth. So as we started to leave the bay there was a few speed bumps and my mother tried avoiding one of them and drove right into a boulder! Damnit Mom! haha. We drove back and saw this small beach/park that no one was at so we deicded to eat lunch there, well on the way out I was first and was waiting for them behind me and literally within seconds I hear a big CRASH. yes, a crash. I flew off my bike threw my backpack and sunglasses off and saw my poor mother on the ground with the moped on top of her! We were all freaking out trying to move the moped and there was minor minor damage to the moped and some aches on my mother. Thank god! By the way thank you older man who walked by and didn't bother to help us, appreciate the gratitude. On that note we decided it was time for a break! Lets go fill up the tank than drive to the beach and swim, than turn them in. As we are at the gas station we are trying to fix my mothers broken mirror and look who walks up to us - THE MOPED GUY! Oh crap! Somehow we managed to make it seem like we were adjusting the mirror and it got loose and popped off. He apologized and brought us back to the place and fixed it!  Jeez what a relief! Finally two hours later we return them and run off quickly to the closest bus station...

We didn't have any moped insurance! Woops..Thank god they didn't notice the scratches!
