Iao Valley

Day 3

The day started off well.... 5am flight... which meant that lovely Anna drove us @ 3:45am.... it was quite killer...

Then I arrived at the airport in Maui, and proceeded to wait another 3 hours for our shuttle bus.

Once we arrived (10:20am...) we were told about this amazing tour.. to Iao Valley. So we chucked our stuff into the room and proceeeded to join this tour...
def. unprepared in terms of sunscreen and food.... but it was alright.


Iao Valley State Park, where you will enjoy a beautiful rainforest hike in one of Hawaii's most significant historical sites. You will stop at Kepaniwai Cultural Park, and swim in the sacred Iao Valley Stream.


Very tough hike, but it was fun. got come dirt on the bum... but that's what is expected...great mud sliding which is always HOTT.


mentally, physically and emotionally tired....


LAST note: most people in the Hostel are some-friendly and cool to talk to... I'm sure that it'll be a fun time on Maui.... we have a car from Mon-Fri AM... so I'm guess that it'll be fine as SAT we're going to Halekauwa, where the sunset is spectular.... I'm super stoked for that.


Tentatively...

Tues- HANA!!! (all -day)
Wed - Beach date/surfing time (drive Anna back to airport)

Cheers!
