Musicas Havaianas Hawaii Aloha Hawaiian Music
When I’ve visited Hawaii back in 2014, this trip was the last stop from a long journey in USA. I have to admit I couldn’t appreciate it as much as I do now. When we arrived in Hawaii, the trip had already been too much for me, I was very tired from all that traveling. I really wish I’d be there now! I always say this after a while of returning from a trip. I think I’d prefer to take it slowly, but there’s always too much to do and see, and that’s why I get tired many times. But now, I can’t stop thinking how amazing it had been! I live all those wonderful moments again and again while looking through the photos and videos, this is one of the reasons I always take so many photos when I travel. These days I choose to make another post about Maui, as a continuation to one of my previous post Maui, Hawaii part I. The same trip to Maui included the IAO Valley and East Coast and the Hawaiian party at Old Lahaina Luau. All those places were amazing and I need a second post to complete the story about this trip to Maui.
Pipiway trail was one of the most beautiful parts from Road to Hana. The bamboo forest and the amazing waterfalls were some of my favourite. On Pipiway trail we discovered many fruits and we already had a list of preferences, even though we didn’t even know if they were all edible. While harvesting fruits in the jungle we came across some very strange objects: a pair of shoes, a scientific calculator, a book of martial arts and what was even stranger, a cup which had a stamp with an inexistent country: Triland. At first we didn’t pay much attention to them and we continued this amazing trail. Here we found lots of passion fruits and we took some with us on return, for the most delicious exotic cocktail.
It was such a rainy period and this prevented us from having a bath in the water pods of all those amazing waterfalls we’ve encountered. But at the same time it was more of an authentic jungle experience and the swollen waterfalls were absolutely incredible to watch. We were already accustomed being wet but our camera was not, it has suffered some damage from all the rain, but it was time to be replaced anyhow. Apart from that, the feeling of warming up on the heated chairs of our car, after a chilly jungle shower, was quite rewarding! This feature was something we would have never found more useful when renting a car on a tropical island. After drying up a little we were ready for a new adventure.
The black sand beach was another attraction on Road to Hana, I was really curious how different it must look from the white or yellow sand beaches we’ve seen so far, but to find an appropriate beach for swimming as well, is really a challenge, since the waves and currents are so strong on most of those places.
Coconut Glen’s was our favourite place to stop for a natural, homemade, coconut refreshing icecream! You actually have plenty of natural flavours to choose from, but they all have the base of the natural subtile, exotic taste of coconut milk.
Another local culinary attraction is no doubt Aunty Sandy’s banana bread where we always used to stop for a warm, freshly backed banana bread which is one of the Hawaiian traditional banana cake.
After getting back to the guest house I just kept on thinking what was it all about with those mysterious objects we’ve found in the jungle that day, and to be honest we had plenty of time to chat about lots of things before going to sleep. Since the country stamped on cup did not exist and had never existed, I really though those objects were from the future. Two days after, we were back on Pipiway trail in search for the objects. We had to find out what was going on. I couldn’t believe we’ve made that strenuous, busy trip on Road to Hana to reach the Pipiway trail again, in vain! The reason why that country had never existed was simply because some middle letters have vanished but I couldn’t see it in the hurry.
