The Trip - Day 14

June 26

Larry and Wanda did the bicycle downhill today, while Gloria and I did the road to Hana.
This was enjoyable for about an hour and a half. It was scenic but slow, ~20 mph with hair pin turns and one way bridges.
There were many water falls that we stopped at.

We stopped at Pi'lanihale Kahanu Gardens which had a ancient temple which reminded me of the pagan temples that I learned about in a video study called That The World May Know by Ray Vander Laan.

Unfortunately, we couldn't stop at many spots because they only took cash and we hadn't brought much.
However, we passed more water falls of which we stopped at several. I convinced Gloria that once you saw two falls, you saw them all.
The road to Hana took several hours at 20 mph with all theturns.
When we got there, there was NOTHING! We found a hotel to eat, and started back.
We had a choice to go back the way we came or continue on around the island. We chose to continue. We knew, from the travel guide, that the road got very rough and very narrow. It did! However, the worst parts of the road had been patched over many times. Probably, the last time was about 30 years ago; in some places, the road was gravel..
The road did indeed narrow in some places to about 1.5 lanes - total. We did have to pull over several times to let on coming traffic get by. It took several hours at 20 mph to get back.
After picking up Larry and Wanda from their bike trip, which they enjoyed, we went back to our condo to freshen up for supper.
