Hawaii Day 5 - Hana

Our accommodations at the Hana Kai Maui are okay though a little crowded for three people, but in a great location on the black sand beach.

We had a nice sunrise to start the day.

This morning we walked along the beach as far as we could.  We thought we could continue along the path around the headland but it had become overgrown.

This afternoon we continued on the road past Hana with more waterfalls along the way.

We drove to the Kipahulu District of Haleakala National Park and walked the trail towards the falls.  We didn't go the whole way but did hike about 3.5 miles round trip.  We smelled rotting fruit along the drive and discovered what it was when we started hiking - there were rotten mangos everywhere.

This banyan was on the path.

And of course there were several waterfalls.
