Maui 2010 Day 5

We weren't planning on going on the road to Hana again, but left it up to Brittany.  So, we ended up just driving that way with the intention of just "playing it by ear" on how far we'd go and when we'd turn around.
Another gorgeous day to enjoy another part of the island.

The mountains that are on the middle of the island are so beautiful. The clouds hugging them all week made them even more beautiful, I think.

There are lots of sugar cane fields on the way...

The old Cemetaries along the Maui shores are....ugly.  Very different than we would have here.  No grass, just lots of sand and tomb stones.  And if you're lucky, a tree.

Our first stop along the road to Hana was the bamboo forest.  You just park along the road (which may or may not be too safe).  We didn't stay very long, so we didn't get to the big bamboo because it was pretty muddy and we didn't want to leave our car there too long, but it was pretty cool.  Here is just a sample of all the windshield glass along the road where we parked...

Here is a couple of the beautiful views along the road to Hana.

About a third of the way down the road you can turn off on a side road that takes you to the little town of Ke'anae .  It has the oldest church on the island.  The shoreline here is all lava rock and is just beautiful.

That's as far as we went this time...Brittany wasn't too keen on the windy and "very dangerous" road to Hana.  On our way back, we saw lots of activity in the waves.  Fun to watch!

After we got back home, once again we regrouped and headed for our favorite beach.
