Points North

As I mentioned earlier, Paula and I slept in with no firm plans. Maybe a couples massage on the beach or a lazy day by the pool. Over breakfast we visited with the concierge and she outlined a fun drive north to Hawi. We grabbed bottles of water and a couple of diet Cokes and headed off. A few miles north of Kawaihae driving along the west coast through thick grasslands dotted with trees we saw whales breaching offshore. We took the next turn to the shore which led us to a beautiful State Historic park; Lapakahi. It is a 600 year old village. Only the rock walls remain and is a beautiful area


Multiple whale spouts and splashes but to far off for good whale pictures. We continued north stopping at every beach and park along the way. All were unique and scenic. Hawi is on the northern tip of the Big Island and Maui was visible offshore the entire trip north. We continued on to the Pololu Valley. Wow!


We back tracked to Hawi for lunch at the Bamboo restaurant. It had been highly recommended and lived up to the hype. We found a candy store across the street and stocked up on essentials for the remainder of the trek. From Hawi, we headed over the mountains to Waipi'o Valley.


A tsunami wiped out the village located in the valley in 1946.

We made it home in time to enjoy the sunset over cocktails.
