Today we embarked on
the Road to Hana. Supposedly a super
nice drive, rewarded by the 7 Sacred Pools at the end.
So we started
at…10.45am (was suppose to start at 8.30) but got to milepost 10 by 11:21am.
Stopped by the
aboretum along the way - and got bit 5 times.
There were lots of flower and it was pretty tropical. It was hot and humid, and I was food for
mosquitos.
At 12:30pm-ish we
started going again... Didn't take any stop other than this beach as part of
detour.. Pretty nice beach (this was past Hana between post 47 and 51).
Finally we reached
the 7 scared pools. It wasn't all that
cool. It was more like 5 ponds with
drippy waterfall (think it was low tide so the water wasn't overflowing). So we pulled into the Chinese bus tour bus
style mode. We did a Quick Hike (0.5
miles), then pics, then jet. By 2:50pm,
we started heading back with no stops, arriving back in Kihei (Grand Wailea) by
5:32pm.
So Road to Hana:
started at 10:45am, returned by 5:32pm from Kihei with three pit stops. The distance itself isn't long, but it is the
drivers and the curvyness of the road that makes the drive a 2.5 hour drive.
For dinner, we went
to Humuhumunukunukuapua at the Grand Wailea, and I had a 3 lb Hawaii spike
lobster.. They were doing half price per lb.
So a 3lb lobster regularly priced at $174, at just half that! Lobster was huge… and yummy!
We also got there
during the sunset, and it was pretty nice.
The pictures taken though weren't :(
Finishing up dinner,
we got back to the hotel at 8.45pm, and got ready for tomolo's 2:40am pickup to
go bike down a volcano!
