Moved from the hostel to a nice 4* hotel near Lahaina. Ka'anapali Resort contained quite a few hotels linked together by a free shuttle bus, it was amazing!! We were upgraded to a garden cottage overlooking the golf course and about 30m from the pool and stunning beach! We'd hit the jackpot as it was only $20 more than the aweful hostel, managed to see the offer on the net!! Thank god!! Weather not so great today so me and hannah went to the Ka'ahumanu centre, ba...

ROAD TO HANA! Me, hannah, kisrtena dn kate set off early around 8am, stopped for a starbucks and then headed on our journey....the road to Hana. This road started upper north of the island at Pa'ia and goes all the way east to Hana. It winds around the mountains and barely has a straight section of road! STOP 1 - Ho'okipa beach. The best beach on the island for windsurfing, kite surfing and ... basically... surfing! The waves were massive, we climbed down ...

This was taking a very long time so far just to get a few miles! Got to Kehei just in time to have some food before we caught the last bus back, it was...

We then drove around the hair pin bends and found a good stop. We walked down a load of stairs to find Slaughterhouse Beach, very good for snorkling and body surfing apparently. Our next stop was Wakalele Point which is a look out point where you can see for miles!! Very beautiful. We found the Olivi...

We went on one of the hostels free tours today. It was to Big Beach and Little beac on the south west of the island. There was a mini bus full of us and we stopped off at Safeways to get supplies for the day. Big beach was beautiful. A lot bigger than the beach in paia, the sand was softer and the waves were less intense! Although one wave did wipe out hannah in which she lost her bikini and got a mouth full of sandy salt water, was very funny!! We all sunbat...
