I'm baaaack
I was in Alaska last week and Hawaii this week and now I'm back. Damn. But the job situation is pretty much worked out now so that's good.
Hawaii was amazing. I'd been to Kauai before and that was good but Maui was better. Here's what I did:
* snorkeling, where I saw green sea turtles, urchins, sea cucumbers, lots of fish and a moray eel
* riding on a boat with the Pacific Whale Foundation and dolphins swam along in front of the boat
* riding on jet skis, which wasn't my idea because it pollutes but my mum didn't want my brother to go by himself and I probably won't do it again but I have to confess it was wicked awesome
* kyaking, where I also saw sea turtles
* swimming in pools fed by waterfalls that pour into the ocean
* also climbing the rocks by the waterfalls
* eating very expensive food
The waterfall-pools were amazing. It was like in a movie. I couldn't believe we could just go to a place like that, you know? It's a national park so anyone can go. It wasn't even too crowded. It's quite out of the way: the hotels are mostly on the west side and the waterfalls were on the south-east side (near Hana, for those who know Maui geography) and it was about 3 hours' drive on narrow, twisty roads. The view from the roads was awesome, though.
