Waterfalls!

I think you'd agree with me that there's nothing more relaxing than standing 
next to a waterfall just listening to the sounds of the water and watching it 
cascade down. Of course, couple that with all of them being in Hawaii and you've 
got some major relaxation going on! Given all the "water" I was under yesterday 
you'd think I'd be tired of it but today I decided to venture over to the 
eastern side of the island into the rain forest area. Well of course the 
rainforest produces lots of rain and with the very hilly terrain it thus 
produces tons of beautiful waterfalls. I was also shocked that it actually did 
not rain once during my visit there and was a beautiful and sunny day (very rare 
on that side of the island) and especially since I haven't visited a church site 
or Buddha temple site yet!! LOL. So I guess I'm just running on dumb luck (or 
maybe that giant Buddha from China is still following me!) 
 
So the other day I had driven to the highest point you can drive to on the north 
part of the island to Pololu Valley and this time I drove to the farthest point 
on the north eastern side called Waipi'o Valley. It's just a few valleys down 
from Pololu but you can't drive between the two. You can hardly hike it unless 
you’re really adventurous. It's really beautiful in the Waipi'o Valley and very 
difficult to get down into unless you have 4WD. The coast reminds me of the 
Napali coast in Kauai. So I included a picture of the coast from the lookout ( I 
don't have 4WD) and pics of several of the other waterfalls I saw today. The one 
pic of Rainbow Falls, so named because you can see a rainbow when you view it, 
has a slight rainbow off to the right of the falls. See if you can see it in the 
pic. 
 
Well that's all for now. This is a BIG island so there's lots more to explore. 
Counting the days until I head over to Volcano National Park. The lava hasn't 
been 
flowing too freely lately but hopefully it will get moving soon just for me! 
(Come on large Buddha!)
