Ghostly old church (at about 4am)

On our last morning on Maui, we went back to Honolua Bay

We were the first people there at 6:30am

Turtle!

Hey, I found a truck axle.

OH HAI

So many chickens

Dipping in the pool as we checked out of the hotel.

Blowhole warning sign

Wow, they really mean business

These people clearly don’t read signs

At Ohai trail

A cool bird with a long tail

Another cool bird with a long double tail

Warnings at the Olivine Pools amazing tide pool formation. We ignored these warnings.

Last Maui selfie in the Olivine pools

Strange rocks near Olivine Pools

Kahakuloa church

Kukuipuka Heiau at Waihe’e ridge

Inside the Heiau

Somebody does an immaculate job with upkeep at the heiau

View of central Maui from the heiau… you can see why somebody would build a shrine here.

Weird cardinals

Rockin the dad bod while trying to photograph those cardinals

It just wouldn’t be a Maui adventure without a random cow.

My camera battery died right when we got to I

Early (early!) morning run

Breakfast at McDonalds, then went to Honolua Bay at 6:30am (first ones there), saw fish and one more turtle.  Back to hotel, brief swim in pool, then packed up and cleaned up (and shower beer) to check out.  Loaded the car, drove around the West Side.  Missed the first beach we wanted to check out, stopped at blowhole, Ohai trail, Olivene pools, Kahakuloa church, Julia’s fruit stand for POG limonade, Waihe’e ridge (for the Heiau, skipped the trail).  Started feeling the time crunch, but went to Iao valley briefly to see the needle, jumped in a freshwater stream with an asian family to swim and get the salt off (no shower necessary!).  Long’s drugs to get plane snacks and Da Kitchen for dinner (Katsu Moko plate: chicken Katsu plus loco moko, ate half, ate half for dinner Sunday back home).  Drank last maui beer while cleaning out the car in the Da Kitchen parking lot.  Then to the airport, checked in, left my board shorts and flip flops on, depart 8:10pm, arrive Boston 2:10pm Sunday.
