I have found great little beaches, experienced part of the culture and even became very found of the music and of course the POG (Passion fruit, Orange and Guava juice). On Sunday, I decided to make the drive to Hana. There are several people who have told me not to make the drive - "it's a waste of a whole day" or "that road is dangerous". I took that advice as a challenge and I am so happy I did.
The drive did take several hours but it was well worth it. As for the road itself, it was not dangerous. When driving it, you just need patience. It is a one way highway with many parts only allowing one car to go over a bridge or make a turn. When I made the drive, it actually rained half the trip. Just slow down and take in the smells and enjoy the sticky, humidity of the area because turn after turn reveals nature at it's finest. I enjoyed it so much that I actually drove past Hana until the road, at the edge of the crashing ocean turned to dirt and potholes. So my advice, make the drive to Heavenly Hana and beyond because there is something very cool about being in a steamy and humid rainforest, overlooking breathtaking ocean views as the warm Maui rain falls upon you.
The pictures I have posted do not do justice to the views, waterfalls, natural pools and experience.
