We didn't pay for a convertible, but they gave us one anyway. It was a lot of fun! On this day, we drove the road to Hana. It was so beautiful. The road had just opened up all the way around - it had been closed for a couple of years because of an earthquake. That is not saying that it was a good road. Unless you consider a very small, one lane, bumpy road to be a good road. We bought a CD that told you where to stop and also some fun facts. It was worth it.
I loved these trees with the rainbow bark
There were a lot of mongooses on the island. The sugar plantations brought them to Maui to control the rat population. Only problem, mongooses are awake during the day while rats are nocturnal. Instead, the bird population has been dangerously decreased. You think that someone would have researched that a little bit more.
This park was my favorite part of the drive. The water was so beautiful and powerful here. Looking off the cliff at the swirling waves made me so glad that Nate was not with us!!!
Not a good place to swim!
The black rock beach at the park
I wanted to bring a couple of rocks home for the boys, but Mark informed me that it was illegal to do that
We saw a lot of waterfalls
See the road! This was the "good" portion that was not too bumpy
This is about when Mark started to drive me crazy. He really likes the Big Bend type of beauty, while I prefer green. He was stopping every 100 yards to take a picture - I am not kidding!!
