Lahaina and more

Lahaina April 4

Tour- 7 Hours

Ran into a buddy.. he is a cadet on the ship training to be a Deck Officer. A quick shot I got of him.

The tour I went on went to Haleakala National Park. It took us a long time to get to the top. I got some videos of the journey.

Once we go tto the top of the crater we were 9000 feet elevation and it was ‘brisk’. That is how the guide explained the weather up there. It felt wonderful to me in short sleeves and jeans, but everyone else had jackets on. Wimps. Ha. Here are some shots I got while up there.

And a video on out way back down to civilization My battery was drained on my phone from all the videos and pictures I was taking. I got back to the ship with 3% of my battery left. Yikes.

We went to a valley where the tour guide said some of the Jurassic movies were filmed, but that is the only information I got about that. Here are some pics I got while there.

Lunch was after that and I got to chat with one of the locals. This guy went searching for sea glass on the beaches and made jewelry from it. Sea glass is more or less broken bottles that are at sea and wash up on the beaches after a very long time and they are sanded to small pieces. He had some really neat jewelry, but unfortunately I don’t wear much. But he was a cool guy to talk to about the island
