Alright. This is my LAST Hawaii post… kinda sad, huh? It’s taken me longer than I initially planned to get all of these up, but it’s allowed you all to savor each experience ;)
At the start of our journey on the Hana Highway, we stopped by a colorful fruit stand where I tried my first passion fruit. You eat the seeds, like with a pomegranate, and the tart flavor is incredible. It’s my favorite tropical fruit by far!
Luckily, at the fruit stand, April grabbed a map of the Hana Highway….otherwise, we wouldn’t have known to stop by the bamboo forest. Besides the multitude of cars parked by the side of the road, there was no way of knowing it was there. It was amazing to walk inside the dense forest of tall, skinny bamboo — almost surreal.
The highway was filled with tight curves, slow speed limits, and many times where we’d have to yield for cars coming in the opposite direction. Every part of it was breathtaking! This felt like the Hawaii you’d see in movies (we even came close to seeing some locations that were in Jurassic Park!). It was a beautiful way to end our adventures.
