Maui, cont.

Here I go again, I'm on a roll so I'm going to try and finish up our Maui section today.

We drove the infamously curvy Road to Hana (Dad was our fearless driver) which took almost the entire day. Some guidebooks say there are about 600 curves and 54 one-lane bridges. It's really not a good idea for people who get car-sick easily. But thankfully none of us threw-up and our car did not slide off the narrow roads into the steep ravines, and we got to see some very pretty waterfalls.


Along the road to Hana we stopped at the Hana Lava Tube. The cave was formed from liquid rock plowing a path through the earth and leaving behind plenty of neat rock formations (stalagmites and stalactites). They let you do self-guided tours (my favorite) and our guidebook recommended we turn our lights off inside the cave if we wanted to know what complete and utter darkness was. Some of us liked this more than others.
