We decide to go to Volcano National Park before our National Parks Pass expires. The volcano is southeast from us, it's a lovely drive.
We stopped off at a bakery for Breakfast - the birds seemed ever hopeful.
The geography starts to change.
As we drove we noticed a Buffalo and Zebra by the side of the road and had to pull over.
Turned out to be a Coffee Farm.
Next we came across a Black Sand beach
There were several Sea Turtles warming themselves on the Beach
It was fascinating to see them up (not too) close and personal. Previously we had only seen them in rescue centers in rehabilitation pools.
We finally arrive at the Park
Just be careful where you drive.
Just remember - it's no longer your fault!
Volcanos just need to let off some steam too.
Halema ume u Crater letting of some steam
A short walk thru a rain forest to find the lava tube.
There it is up ahead.
Lava Tubes are where the lava flow has ceased and the rock has cooled and left a long, cave-like tube.
Overlooking the Makahopui Crater. It's getting too late to walk it so we decide to return another day.
Aloha!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
