Double click to see flowers better
Thursday Brad went to the first 2 hours of class, then decided to play hooky so we could go see the other side of the island. 
We went back to our rockin' minivan we had rented to find it covered in a salty brine which impeded our view out the windows until we could stop at a gas station to clean them!
This sign was at the park next to the coast.
Ever seen one of these warning signs before?
We continued down the coast and saw a lot of waterfalls and beautiful flowers of which I shall only bore you with a few :-)
This is at Kelekole Park 
This tree wins the weird award (on our way to 'Akaka Falls)
The vegetation is sooo dense!
Here it is.... 'Akaka Falls
420 foot drop!
Here is Rainbow Falls
Above Raibow falls Brad and I scrambled along these rocks
Thursday Brad went to the first 2 hours of class, then decided to play hooky so we could go see the other side of the island. This was one of my favorite stops on our trip: Laupahoehoe Point. The surf here was AMAZING! You hear the roar and feel the ocean's power and force. The water hits the rocks so violently it is mesmerizing.

Brad loved the Banyan trees... or at least he loved saying "Ban-yan" all the time.
They are HUGE!

Then we went on to Hilo to say "hi" to King Kemehameha
On our way home we stopped back in Wimea for supper and tried an Italian place called Solimene's... it was OK. This chocolate hazelnut calzone was pretty good though.
I LOVED being able to see all the beautiful green jungles and flowers on the other side of the island. It was such an amazing contrast from the dry lava side we were staying on.
