Before arriving at our sweet little cabin in the rain forest, we made a few stops. The road you see below is a typical Hawaiian road.
We visited the quiet little park at Laupahoehoe Point, where we walked around and took in the beautiful landscape. We came across an adorable older couple walking hand-in-hand who lived on the island and had a nice chat with them. We also were lucky enough to come across a second monk seal. We kept our distance from this guy as we didn't want him to feel threatened as he sunbathed. We also paused at the memorial for the loss of 3 adults and 21 schoolchildren that were swept away here during the 1946 tsunami.
We were able to see many beautiful waterfalls and flora before taking in Akaka Falls, which plunges 420 feet (the last waterfall picture).
This side of the island is definitely cooler and wetter, but so lush and beautiful.
