Waihe'e Ridge trail
This part of the island is very reminiscent of all the films and tv shows filmed on Hawaii - so much so that you almost expect a Jurassic park T rex to appear round the next corner.
All along this trail there were Passion Fruit trees, many of which were dropping fruit onto the ground. We both tried some, but sadly they were way too sharp to be worth eating.
The geography of this part of the coast is the result of constant sea erosion attacking the porous lava, and looks about as other worldly as any place I have ever been too. The ground is incredibly abrasive, you get the feeling that falling over would hurt - a lot.
The Blowhole was amazing, and regularly threw welcome cooling water over the surrounding area. Sadly it was particularly difficult to film without getting goofy tourists (like us I guess!) constantly standing in the way
We've had a great time on Maui, and seriously considered extending our stay here, but its very expensive. Budget accommodation seems almost non existent, and a hire car is virtually a necessity, so we have to leave tomorrow to keep some cash for elsewhere. Definitely looking forward to coming back some day.
Not sure when we will next have a decent internet connection, so Mahalo for now.
