Hana

Ever since Kauai we've gotten up really early in the morning. The sun rises so early, around 4am, so it's hard to sleep in at all when it's so bright out for so long. One bonus is that I've seen the sun rise most mornings; especially sleeping in the tent.

This was the first morning in Maui at the Waianapanapa camp ground and since I was awake I took a lot of photos of the sun rise:



While we were in Hana we went up to the Kipahulu Valley and hiked the Pipiwai Trail to the Oheo Gluch (Seven Sacred Pools) and the Waimoku Falls. These falls were awesome! They were worth the hike, so nice! The pools were beautiful and descend from above the Hana Highway to the sea.





During the hike the nature was amazing! There was a bamboo forest, smaller waterfalls, neat trees, plants and flowers, and views of the sea.



We left Hana on Monday, June 2nd and have been staying at the same hostel for the past 3 nights. We are heading to Kahana Beach Park to camp for 3 nights there and then we'll be back at the hostel for the last 3 nights in Maui.
