We had a quick breakfast and then headed to the car to start our driving tour of west Maui. We purchased a driving tour app that actually guided us around using our GPS. Our first stop was the Maui Ocean Center, which is one of the largest aquatic centers in the world. We saw lots of beautiful fish, turtles, jellyfish and other ocean creatures. We then headed back to the car to continue the tour. We stopped at recommended eating places for the islands specialties (Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop in Lahaina) but also got lots of history of natural landmarks along the way. We saw the Nakalele Blowhole, walked around the Ioa Valley State Park, hiked the Dragon tooth trail, saw the Olivine tide pools and many beautiful ocean views along the way. After a busy day of traveling, we relaxed back at the condo, ate leftovers for dinner and headed to bed.

The memory that might stand out the
most from this trip were the sections of road
were there was only one lane winding through
the hills. You had a honk before the bend and
cross your fingers there wasn't another car coming
straight towards you. If there was, one of you had to back
up carefully until there was space to pass.
Very nerve-wracking! |
