The Down and Up of Hana

Here are the two rented min-vans (each can seat 15) ready to roar! Will be driving along the Hana Highway with stops at beaches and waterfalls.

This is Ho'okipa Beach Park - Maui's popular windsurfing and surfing beach.



Our first waterfall stop - The Twin Falls.

We had to trek in quite a long way before reaching the twin falls. Waters quite deep so only take photo without getting ourselves wet.

When we stopped by the roadside to attend to those who were car-sick, our battery ran flat! That certainly got us kicking into high-gear and we stopped almost every car that passed us by asking for a jumper cable! We waited for almost an hour before locating a kind Samaritan (he mentioned that we were the 4th vehicle that he had helped that day!).


Oh the the joy of receiving more power!

With my room-mate Maged at the Seven Falls. The rushing waterfalls was so strong that it creates a permeating mist all around.

Part of the coastal drive journey. Instead of taking the easier road home - we decided to persevere on and go for the windy route back to the Institute. But the sights were well worth it!

Praise God for this fantastic stop-over spot! We arrived here minutes before the sun-set and we were treated to a wonderful blend of green pastures, majestic mountains and heavenly clouds. Am I glad we did not turn back after the vehicle breakdown but decided to press on!

What a glorious view (and conclusion) to our Hana adventure! The coastal sights were well worth the windy pathway and not to mention, the vehicle breakdown. God is good ... all the time.
