We made a quick departure as the rain was getting agressive.
Our first stop was the state park kahana for a very wet hike. We learned about fishing with the aid of a scout up on a mountain. This was a new concept for us.
View from the fishermans guide post.
And another stunning beach.
Crazy sea creatures living on a float
Chris joins a grip of tourists from Korea for calisthenics. I think it was because of a dare but it was very cute.
Buddhist temple modeled after a temple in Japan that is over 950 yrs old. This was a serene spot.
It was at this point that we realized we had been to several sites from the show LOST. and we confirmed that Chris was right when he said that the YMCA camp we passed yesterday was the site of the Others. And the beach we camped on2 nights ago was the site of the beach where they crash landed.
Shave ice take 2. This time with beans. But sadly we already had the best ever shave ice at Aloha on the big island. Life plus hard were you have had the best and then you are stuck eating the rest.
We hiked to the top of one of the smaller mountains. There are old gunner boxes there. Again stunning views of water and mountains.
The famous blowhole. The waves crash below and then come up from below. A real show.
We found a classic Hawaiian resturant. There were certainly new flavors here. The poi is the original staple brought by the Polynesian. It is purple and tastes like an unsweet applesauce with the texture of yogurt. The green is chicken, spinach and a very strong coconut flavor. Also squid with a very new kind of sea weed.
Cash only! Risky business on the last night of the stay.
Last night in Oahu. We splurged for the bunk house. Like a community house. Makes me feel like I'm at Rachel's house. Comes with laundry facility!
