Kate and I continued our adventures to the Road to Hana. If you've never experienced it, I'll just tell you getting to Hana is NOT the desired goal. Hana, in our opinion, was small, kinda depressing, filled with residents who do not like visitors. LOL!
The Road to Hana is 52 miles, 617 curves, and 59 bridges (46 of which are single-lane bridges). Kate drove there and I drove back. Watching the views are unbelievable. Watching the oncoming cars on single-lane bridges and hundreds of curves will keep the driver occupied.
I would recommend getting the audio CD for the Road to Hana. We had a wonderful time but apparently, we missed a number of things along the way. Ahhh, ignorance is bliss.
Definitely stop at the Halfway to Hana stand and get the warm banana bread. There are plenty of others trying to cash in on this market, but these people truly have the best. Delicious!
Waterfalls galore...
Red Sands Beach - oh my gosh, trying to get there was so scary. I prayed a lot along the way as I almost hugged the side of the mountain. Straight drop off in front of me...

| It was a quest to find this place. All the locals tried to scare us away. |
 |
| The height of this is very, very deceiving. |
 |
| We were so excited to finally find this! Trying to snap a shot and not fall. LOL! |
 |
| This beach is 75 percent enclosed by the cove. Really cool. |

Next up...Black Sands Beach

| The beach is in the center of this pic. |
 |
| Probably one of my favorite places of the day. |
Road to Hana...
 |
| Hard to imagine the beauty of this, you can't capture it in pics. |
In the spirit of our adventures, we decided to go spelunking. We have to psych ourselves up to do it, even with a girl, who had just come through it, tried to reassure us it wasn't bad. Thank goodness for Kate's iPhone flashlight. It was pitch black...
 |
| You want me to go in there? |
 |
| This was the easy part. |
