Maui

Tuesday 30 September

Hawaii island of Maui


we are going on a tour


We are going to the summit of Haleakala in the
National Park.


We had a stop at 2134 m to get acclimatised
for 30 minutes.

'ahinahina


We are at the top 3055 m. it is cold and windy


the clouds are moving in





all clear, the clouds are all gone



At the visitor centre I got a certificate saying:

"I survived the 37 mile drive up from the sea level to
the summit of Haleakala volcano ( 10,023 ft / 3,055 m)
one of the greatest elevation gains in the shortest
distance in the world!

Claude did not want one!!!



Lahaina
The corner shop is an Ice cream shop, we shared
a coconut ice cream, it was huge and delicious.



this is a very huge tree with lots of roots forming new trunks
