So in our fabulous vacation in Maui, today was the day for our road trip to Hana.
Hana is the city that is on the most eastern part of the island and it is about a 3 1/2 hour drive to get there with 617 curves and 56 one-lane bridges.
IT IS BY FAR, the most incredible and beautiful drive you will ever make in your life!
It is really a life-changing experience.
Our first stop was in a small town called Paia, which is a very cool sort of hippie town. Very cute with old town buildings and of course, righ off the coast.
One of our destinations was the 7 Sacred pools. Just breathtaking.
One of the highlights was this self-sufficient farm that we came across that was started about 14 years ago. Each person that is there is considered a farm apprentice and must give a 1-year committment in order to be there.
There was this amazing cottage that served all kinds of drinks and tropical smoothies, all organic and made from ingredients grown on the farm. I got a Ginger blast. But the key was, the power from the blender is generated from a stationery bicycle that you have to ride in order to power the blender for your drink!!! Very cool!!
Our last stop was Rose Ranch, which is an amazing plantation with wine tasting and a time-capsuled general store on a ranch that has an unbeleivable history.
We traveled around the entire eastern section of the island to come back to our condo in Kihei.
I don't know how to explain it, but this island is simply magical. It has a spiritual ring to it that seems to call to you.
I seriously may not come back!!
Here are some shots from today...................
