Well – we’ve seen it. And it’s big. Rainforest like Penang, coffee plantations like Columbia, ranchland like Texas, volcanoes like Hawaii, the ocean like the Caribbean – this island has it all. We enjoyed two days of driving, walking and picture taking around nearly the whole big island. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere of the Hilo Bay Hostel for a couple of nights while we soaked up the rain of the east side of the island. Hilo has over 3000mm of rain annually (that’s the most anywhere in the U.S.). Hawaii has an excellent park system and we saw where trees had been covered with lava and then the lava drained away leaving lava stumps, there were many gorgeous waterfalls and some tremendous plants on the scenic road, incredible gulches filled with flowering vines and palms and trees in gorgeous arrays. This was a most wonderful way to cap off an excellent Christmas!
We’ve included a short video that should start automatically after a few minutes. We heard that for many of you this is your favorite part of our website! If you have watched it once already we recently uplaoded a better version so it should be more clear than the last one.
