day three and the road to hana.

kaimana slept a little bit longer this morning. well, till around 5:30. we munched down some more swedish pancake breakfast, and got packed up to hit the road. to hana.

kaimana fell asleep a little bit past paia. when he woke up about 45 minutes from our destination, he looked a little pale. then again, so did zach. the road is super winding, and once you get to a certain point, the jungle blocks out most of the skyline. we made it to waianapapa none to soon, luckily no one got sick. we only hung out there for a half-hour or so, ate some bananas, watched the blowhole (which wasn't super entertaining this day), used the bathroom, enjoyed the view. then we jumped back into the car to head to oheo gulch.

we were really excited about this hike, but weren't sure how kaimana would do. since he'd already been stuck in the car all morning, we decided to let him walk for a while first. he did great! he probably hiked close to 75% of the way up to the falls and had a blast while doing so. he saw lots of rocks ("ocks"), roots ("oots"), bamboo ("ba-boo"), and got to get his feet wet in the stream we had to cross. after taking their picture at the falls, we loaded him into the ergo and he was asleep within 10 minutes.

we decided to drive around kaupo to come home, much less winding, and grabbed some pizza when we got back into kihei. dinner, showers, bedtime for kaimana, movie (the blind side) and ice cream for us, made for the end of day three.
