Camping in Hana

Having a great time! Between camping at Hana, celebrating birthdays with food and song, spending Thanksgiving with new friends, and watching the stars while sitting next to the ocean, I have no complaints.

I do, however, have no time to sleep. And I've got to be up for another trip to Hana tomorrow so I must go to bed now. But I will leave you with a quick photo explination of my camping trip from two weeks ago.

The drive to Hana is the whole point. Getting to Hana is cool but it's the drive that makes it worth going. There are all kinds of waterfalls and pretty things along the way like this.

A bit of car sickness meant many stops. But no complaints from me because look at where we stopped!!

The guys foraged for coconuts (which we later ate).

We had a feast for dinner and then went fishing by moonlight on the rocks. See the part that is sticking up from the water at the end? That's where we were at a lower tide. (Scary to see it covered with water in daylight the next day.) Because a few of us were "nervous" about how close we were to the water we backed up and sang any church song that had a round that we could think of for about an hour. It was such an uplifing evening and so beautiful. The moon was a night past being full and provided plenty of light.

We packed up the next morning so we could be on our way to the 7 Sacred Pools.


First we had some breakfast and ate those coconuts I mentioned previously.


Everything is so lush. It's hard to take in so much beauty.

We spent the morning jumping into the lower pools. We even found a natural rock waterslide that entertained us for awhile.

Then it was time to go home. This is a VERY common sign to see.

We took a different way around the back and got to see some amazing views.

It was a truly fantastic and refreshing weekend.
