We decided since some of us were sunburned to spend the next day out of the sun. We drove the road to Hana. This is an all day drive, around to the other side of the island. It is super windy, and every once in a while you can stop and get out to do one of the hikes or let Maddie take a leak in the various bushes!! (which we did several times!) This first stop we decided to do a little hike, but when we got out we realized there were mosquitos everywhere! We all went into high stress and poor Jared already had like ten bites all over his legs. Lucky for us Ray had a bottle of bug spray. It was so funny we were all trying to use the spray at the same time and it was this little 3 oz. thing. We laughed about it after but it was really funny listening to all of us try to hurry and get that spray on. There were a few bites but we all survived.
The hike was through a bamboo forest, it was really cool at first. When we were about ten minutes in we decided to head back. The trail was difficult to find and the ground was muddy and slippery. We had to walk on slippery rocks across this little creek, I had Olivia strapped to me in the bjorn, but thank goodness John was behind me because I almost lost it and he was there to catch us!
The next trail we stopped at was much better for us. We thought we were going to do the ten minute trail but missed the sign and went on to the thirty minute trail instead. It was amazing, when we got to the top we were facing another mountainside that was covered in bamboo. The trees were swaying back and forth, it looked like liquid or something. The trees looked so dense at first like pine trees, so when they would move so much from side to side, it was really amazing! I have a better picture I will post later.
Heading up the trail. The sound of the trees and waterfalls in the backround were so beautiful.
Cute little Maddie she walked almost the whole time.
