Report from MONDAY
Hawi – Wamei – Honokaa – Waipio – Hilo
Hawi – Wamei – Honokaa – Waipio – Hilo
This was a pretty long day, with lots of stages, in and out of the van... but we ended up at an amazing little hotel.
Leg one: Van ride from our hotel in Hawi to Starbucks in Wamei. This was a beautiful drive, not particularly eventful… just some amazing views from the van.
Leg two: Van ride from Wamei out 5 miles to the drop off point. Technically we could have biked this part, but it was on a pretty fast highway so it was safer to drop us off at the first turn.
Leg three: Bike from the drop off to the Waipio lookout. This was a super fun ride, five miles of winding roads with rolling hills. We could see the Mauna Kao – the tallest mountain in Hawaii, This is the dry side of the Big Island, so the grass was pretty dry, I took a cool picture of the scenery, then Jim and Linda rode past, and I got a cool picture of them.
Our course took us down a five mile winding hill down into the town of Honokaa and then ten miles out to the Waipio lookout, which had a great view of a valley and black sand beach.

After spending some time at the lookout; we turned around and headed back to Honokaa for lunch. Lunch led quickly to jumping back into the van to go see a waterfall – followed quickly by another van ride to get smoothies.

if you are still in Hawaii- go stargazing on Mauna Kea. Best stargazing in the world!
Talk to you when you return!
