Yesterday I woke up and went swimming in our waterfalls here at the farm. Amazing! See photos to the left. Then Pamela and I hitchhiked to Hana and back. The road to Hana is this crazy crooked road that tourists rent cars to spend the day driving down, seeing the expansive views of the ocean and the waterfalls and parks along the way. We got there and back, hitchhiking easily. We even had an off-duty cop pick us up, saying he doesn't usually pick up hitchhickers, but that we were just irresistable. Ha! I have a cop friend now.
This is a map of the route we hitchhiked, if that curvy line can give you any idea of what a crazy drive it is. Throw in 54 bridges (many one lane) and locals who are in a hurry, this road is more like a roller coaster.
Hana is actually a tiny town, but we did make it to a cool old Japanese graveyard (left over from when Japanese were brought in as labor on the sugarcane farms in the late 1800s) and then to this incredibly secluded, difficult to find Kaihalulu ('Red Sands') Beach. It was definitely worth it, as the water was incredible blue and it felt just like paradise. Check the pics man.
