Day 2- Survival of the Monsters


  Every Trip we take, Joe picks to do something that involves trying to kill me and test our marriage.
=0) 

In Madeira it was the cable car ride- yes I hate heights, Greece the three mile mountainous walk to Oia, and in Hawaii it was the Road to Hana followed by 4 mile walk to a 400 foot waterfall!

The road to Hana is the crazy windy road which spans down to the southern most region of Maui.  It is breath taking and terrifying at the same time because the roads are so narrow and so windy that you could easy get killed.  Thank you Joe! 



 

It took us three hours to do the road to Hana from our Hotel which is average from what I have heard.  We then stopped at     State Park and paid our $10 to get in.  We decided to eat a small bite to eat and then start hiking.  I thankfully had packed our collapsible water bottle which came in handy during our walk.

Then my husband tried to kill me again! 
2 mile walk up the mountains to a 400 foot waterfall which was amazing. 
The first part of the walk was all up hill, which was not fun because it was hot and humid (Two thing that laura does not do), but then something kind of cool happened.  It kind of maid me feel like we were in Elf the movie because we walked thru this amazing bamboo forest which made it so the temperature so cool because we were completely blocked from the sun.  The bamboo forest finished at this 400 foot waterfall - AMAZING!!!


Joe went in the water and we just stopped on the rock and admired all the beauty!
Then headed back down to the 7 Sacred Pool which was cool, but not the same as a 400 foot waterfall. 

After almost 3 hours of hiking, we headed back on the road to Hana to our condo.
Exhausted!  Decided to eat in the night and just relax and have a movie night.
We watched the "Other Guys" which was actually hilarious!!

Cost of Whole Day:  $10 (Park Admission Fee)
