Hawai'i Day Five - Part Two

USS Missouri

I was surprised by the wooden (teak) deck.

Apparently a teak deck does not get slippery, provides insulation, and doesn't allow sparks if a shell casing is dropped.

Pali Highway - shear cliffs, STRONG winds

old highway

new highway goes through the mountain in places

wind pushing the trees - the wind almost knocked me off my feet a couple of times it's so strong

miscellaneous temple

Manoa Falls

muddy trail up to the falls and we did it in the "drier" season

Hawai'i Day Four

Byodo-In Temple

Bell house

gargoyle

lots of big fish

Goose and water spout frog

Next three are in succession from the southeastern side of the island

the waves were impressive...not so sure the sanity of these people - especially the ones on the ledge

Rule #1 of Hawaiian Ocean: never turn your back on the ocean

Hanauma Bay - supposedly the best snorkeling on the island

go in the early am though, apparently you are more likely to see fish then
