More Maui


My next day in Maui, Steve and I went on a jeep trip. Alex had had too much fun the night before and decided to sit this one out. So Steve and I got what was probably the last vehicle in town and headed out. The best driving thing to do on the island is take the road to Hana, but it takes all day if you hurry and we only had the afternoon. So we drove around the Northern part of the island along the coast and on to Iao (pronounced Eee-Ohh) Valley State Park.

It was an amazing drive. There were beautiful beaches around every corner and the road was small and winding and ran right along the edge of the cliff. In some places it was so small, if you met an on coming car you had to reverse till there was a pull off and let them pass before you could continue. Steve had a lot of fun driving this one. In the Iao Valley there were beautiful green mountains and a foggy sky, it was like walking into a different world. And that was a great end to our time in Maui. Next up will be our last stop in Hawaii on the big island again, this time on the other side in a town called Hilo.
