It's time for the annual trip . . . because it's there.
The reason for the trip is not the road or Hana itself. It's the journey . . . seeing the waterfalls along the way
The road is not long but it snakes around
a bamboo forest occupies much of the interior . . . there could be one wild panda party!
There are many one lane, very old bridges built in the early 1900s.
The waterfalls can be spectacular!
At the end of the trip, not when you reach Hana, but when you return home you can say . . .
Our adventurers collapsed on the couch and lost themselves in the NFL football game.
Dinner was at the newly opened
Monkeypod Kitchen- they are located in the Wailea Gateway Center, at the corner of Pi;ilani Hwy and Wailea Ike Drive. Their address: 10 Gateway Place, Unit B-201, Kihei, Maui HI
Our waiter reminded us of . . .
He took our drink orders: a lava flow and a Mai Tai. The Mai Tai had what they called Liliko'i (passion fruit) foam, it looked like the scum off the ocean.
You just stir it in and it's hardly noticeable.
Three of us had Mahi Mahi fish and chips. Instead of tartar sauce they had malt ale sauce. Yum.
Yes, Dirtboy had to have seconds.
Hubby had the Mahi Mahi fish tacos.
We sampled their pies for dessert. They make: Banana cream, Coconut cream, Chocolate cream, and Kula Strawberry cream (shown here.)
You'd better like a little pie with your cream cause there's a lot of it, not the Redi-Whip kind either.
