Wonderful. But once again we’ll miss whale watching because we’re too late in May :-(
I just stumbled upon Cindy’s article “Banyan trees in Hawaii protect and inspire” which led me to Wikipeda (Banyan, Banyan Drive). As we will stay in Hilo for almost one week we for sure will drive the Banyan Drive :-)
I remember quite well the Banyan trees in Hawaii. One of the most impressive Banyan trees I remember is the Banyan tree in Lahaina which was planted on April 24, 1873
So you’re curious how such an old Banyan Tree is looking like? Here you go:
This evening we were for dinner at Charley’s Maui. BTW they now offer lunch boxes you may need for the road to Hana :-)
We were a little bit tired this morning but finally we made it to Lahaina and then north on highway 30. After Kapalua the road starts getting curved and sometimes it has one lane bridges. It’s not comparable to the road to Hana but it’s worth a drive too. Then we drove back to Lahaina, had a short stop for the Banyan Tree and Pioneer Inn and then went for a a ride with the Sugar Cane Train. We then returned to Lahaina. Okay, it’s a tourist’s town but it’s an old town that attracts those tourists with its charme.
