Maui - Day 2

We went on the Hana drive to the 7 Sacred Pools. The drive was long and slow, but mainly because it was a very windey road with a mountain on one edge and a cliff on the other. At some points, there weren't even two lanes.

On the way there, we stopped at a Botanical Garden. That was very pretty, but $10 to get in. We did get to see the rock from the opening sequence of Jurassic Park, a waterfall, a peacock with spread feathers, and a very old mango tree.
Finally, we reached Hana. The drive was alright, but I don't think either of us would have done it if we realized what the roads were going to be like. But, we continued on to the opening of Haleakala National Park and Oheo Pools. We paid the entrance fees which also work for the entrance at the other side of the island. We hiked to the pools, and took pictures before heading back to our car. When we arrived, we realized that we had to return the way we came. We turned around for the long and stressful drive back to Kahului. I swear I almost had a heart attack several times, but the Lord protected us.
We spent the rest of that day relaxing at our campground, reading. Then something creepy happened. We were reading on the beach when a guy came over and tried to talk to us. He wanted us to put down our books because "he" was "more interesting." We didn't because he was creepy. I did feel bad about that, but I didn't want to encourage him. He said that his friend really wanted to meet me, but he was too shy. He asked us if we drank and we told him no (of course). He said that his friend doesn't drink, either. His friend walked over, but left soon after that. Luckily, it didn't take much time before that guy followed. Luckily, our time at that campground would be over in two nights.
