We spent about 45 minutes at the waterfall, with Sean and Cooper braving the slippery rocks and cold water to swim over to the base of the waterfall. Tried to capture the scale in the two different pictures. Also watched the dread-headed fella climb about halfway up. We thought he was going to dive in. Sadly, he just tossed his Go-Pro down to make it appear he dove in. Back in the car and begin the reverse journey to Maui and ultimately the resort we will be planting our flag at for the week.
Started Sunday off with a short walk along the black sand beach in front of our resort. Found the most expensive breakfast ever, including $7 black coffee. Once the group was fed, continued on down the Road to the most majestic waterfalls I’ve ever seen. At over 70 feet, it’s the largest on Maui. Time to get the swim suits on, slather up the sunscreen, and get to swimming for those that are brave enough.
We made it! I don’t know if Ive ever tasted better pizza then what we found in Hana, after a long day of sun, swimming and hiking. Only drawback was no cold beer to wash it down with. Found our resort for the night which was beautiful. Time on the patio together playing “Hight, low, water buffalo.” Smoked a cigar as the sun was setting. Beautiful view from our room.
Ice cream! Stopped between waterfalls for for a cool, homemade treat (and of course more pictures). Then it was back in the JEpp to make sure we hit our reservation time for the Black Sand Beach. We spent two hours splashing in the waves, sunning on the beach, and hiking to an overlook of the inlet. Anyone else starting to get sunburned? As SBX said when I sent her my OOTD, “You need to get some sun on those guns, dad!”
We weren’t quite halfway to Hana yet, with so many cool side quests, ice cream shops, and waterfalls to see and explore. After loading up on banana bread, we were off to swim in a waterfall pool. The trees and vegetation were just incredible everywhere you looked. We arrived at the next waterfall and made the short hike to the pool. Then it was time to swim! Look at all the fun Mrs. Roth is having on vacation! Copper said the water was COLD!
