Sorry i haven't blogged in a while - we just haven't had time, or we've been too exhausted from our travels to sit and write.
We are now on the island of Maui. We got here yesterday, and the weather is lovely, and we have a Ford Flex SUV to drive around in. This car does everything except make tea (well, i haven't found the button for the tea-maker yet). It has rear camera for parking, and auto seat adjustment (implies i'm too fat to get out of the car without needing the seat moving backwards - hmmmm). It has built in GPS (complete with annoying american woman's voice). I also connected my Iphone via bluetooth so we can listen to my tunes too. David was gutted to find out that the monitor also doubled up as a DVD player, as he didn't bring his Ironman DVDs along for the ride today.
Talking of the ride, we did the "Road to Hana" today. Only 70 miles from our hotel, but it took forever to get there and back. We made a few scenic stops on the way though. We left our hotel just after 6.30am, and got back to the neighbouring town at 4.30pm. It was a hell of a drive! Over 600 turns and over 50 "one lane" bridges.
We have to go to bed now as we have to leave at 3am to get to the summit of another mountain to see the sunrise. David is then going to cycle down the mountain and then cycle back up it. That should take all day!
