Hawaii Post #2




























Our favorite thing we did in Maui was the Road to Hana. We had so much fun finding waterfalls and seeing the beautiful scenery. The only hard part was when we were done we had to come all the way down the road with out stopping, all 636 turns. Needless to say we were a little nauseated by the end.















The Three Bears Falls

This first waterfall is the Three bears falls. It was really fun. Russ and I made our way over boulders into the pool to get under the waterfall. Noelle was making her way and slipped and fell on a rock and hit her head and cut her hand open. She stayed with my mom and Alyssa on the bank. Alyssa was such a trooper. It started raining but she was having so much fun picking up the rocks.





















The first waterfall we actually tried to find was 4 falls, which we had directions from our Guide book. We had to hike through a bamboo forest and then across a ditch. Well we could only find the ditch and not the stream that would led us to the waterfalls. We ended up walking through a cow pasture but got this cool pictures. After an hour of searching we gave up. We were so disappointed that we didn't find it, that night we looked on the internet and found more instructions on how to get there. My mom, Russ, Alyssa and I went back a few days later to find it. That adventure will be another post.

We stopped at the "Garden of Eden" this was really beautiful. Many different flowers and trees. This one we are standing next to is a rainbow eucalyptuses tree.

We also stopped in a little town to get Banana bread and pineapple. The picture above is Russ after he climbed over lava rocks.

I love seeing your pictures. When we visited Maui, it was for our honeymoon and we also did the road to Hauna. I thought I would surely die a newlywed. The road is terrifying but worth seeing. We stopped to swing on some vines and got eaten by mosquitos! It looks like you had a wonderful time there. Is just isn't fair that Utah doesn't look and feel like Hawaii, is it?
