The Road to Hana

This was a tiny narrow 15 mph road that led up to a small little village on the far side of the island. The actually road is long (6 hours), slow and scary road. But there are all of these stops and hikes along the way that make it an amazing trip. There are 54 bridges along the road and the majority of them are one lane. It was so beautiful. Once you reach Hana there is a place called the 7 pools, which is just a long waterfall that pools 7 times before it reaches the ocean. We were looking forward to swimming in the pools but the park had them closed because of high water, which sucked for swimming but made great pictures! We also took a 2 mile hike up to a high 400 foot waterfall. The hike sucked, we totally got eaten alive by bugs but there was this thick bamboo forest that we walked threw, it was so thick that you couldn't squeeze threw it if you wanted to! The waterfall was huge and we got some great shots from that hike, oh and I also got a sweet shot of a full moon...thanks to justin! We had alot of locals tell us to head back the back way threw the island, but I was hesitant because the rental car contract says you can't go that way. Of course that is the green light for Justin...tell him not to do something and he does it. The first 40 mins it was a tiny (smaller then before) one lane road around cliffs and ocean. Seriously there where spots where you were look straight down into the ocean, you had to honk at spots to make sure there was no one around the corner. FREAKY! But then the road straitened out and it saved us almost 2hrs to go around that way! It was nice, and now we can say we have been completely around the island of Maui!
