Some shots from Hawaii. (8 shots)

[Locut0s]

20. Nice, maui is where we were...

Some good spots IMHO:

Haleakala crater - It's a long winding drive to the 10,000+ ft summit but the view is worth it.

Molokini - you will have to book a tour here but the snorkelling is worth it!

Black Rock - Another snorkel spot. Right next to a luxury hotel so it's sadly over touristy but the snorkeling is wonderful. Managed to swim with 5 or 6 large sea turtles here.

The Road to Hana - A VERY winding VERY narrow road that hugs the northern side of the island. It's about 3-4 hour drive each way but the scenery is more than worth it! I'd also recommend going past Hana to to the Pipiwi trail at the end, amazing bamboo forests to hike through and a fantastic waterfall at the end.

Upcountry - This is what the locals call the western flanks of Haleakala. Because of the altitude it's cooler here than the rest of the island. This is ranch country, and feels like it (well lush and green rach country that is). Very beautiful and laid back, in a different sense than the rest of the island, much more country like.

Lahaina - much too touristy to stay for long but it's worth a visit just for a quick walk along the waterfront to see all the stores. Maybe stop for lunch, good place to pick up some trinkets or local art work.

Kauai is still our favourite island though.
