Mom and Dad went on a day trip dubbed "The Road to Hana." Hana is a small town with nothing special to see. People take the road because of all the sites along the way. The road is a very narrow, winding road that travels the coastline. It's pretty slow going. The whole trip took Mom and Dad 10 hours and they didn't do half of the stops along the way.

Parts of the coastline they travelled on.

There are all sorts of hidden waterfalls, pools and beaches you can stop and hike in to.

This is one of the only waterfalls/pools that Mom could actually make the hike to. Most of them were a little too steep or slippery for a pregnant person!

Dad hiked in to see a red sand beach. It was way to steep a ledge for Mom so she sat it out. If you enlarge the photo you can see 2 people on the right side of the photo. It kind of gives you an idea of what the path was like.

All kinds of neat flowers....
