The Road to Hana

• Day three in Maui consisted of Doug and I traveling the Road to Hana, but before I get to that I'll fill ya in on the first couple days: airport lost our bags so we each got comped $100.00 to stay in a hotel that night, rented a car from Rudi- an awesome guy from the Czech Republic, met up with Rob Lucas- a friend of ours who owns "Let me Show You Maui," and we hung out at the beach. Also on day 2 we went to dinner with Rob, his girlfriend and his gram. Mind you, his gram is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met- the woman is 104 years old and a firecracker at that. With her thick New York accent and fiesty attitude you can't help but love her.... Okay back to The Road to Hana...
• After a night of camping on the beach Rob and a friend of his, who happens to be a very cool singer/songwriter, picked us up in his black jeep. Our first stop was an organic goat farm, then a winery where we ate the weirdest looking cherries. Next we drove for a while and enjoyed the views, each taking our turn at standing up in the front seat of the jeep because let's face it the views are 10x better when you have the ocean breeze in your face and you're a little bit scared your gonna fall out of the car.

• Continuing on we stopped at a waterfall that blew my mind. Swimming in the pool beneath it was freezing, but awesome. We also swam behind it and Doug got some pretty sweet video with his Go-Pro.

• ...along the way we stopped and ate fruit  I've never tried before: cacao (white jelly with a nut in it that tastes like chocolate), ice cream bananas (super creamy), and lilicois (Orange jelly-like substance with black seeds-I'm addicted to these). On the Road to Hana we saw black, red, and white sand beaches and swam in fresh, spring, and salt water. Rob was the best and craziest guide- the man is a blonde/haired, blue-eyed, Italian New Yorker, and he will jump off of anything. He took us splunking and diving in water caves. We did so much in one day and saw the most incredible views. Being on an island trips your mind up a bit, but so far Maui has been beautiful and we have loved it.
