at one point the trail turned to nothing but bamboo, it got super dark..and as the wind would blow they would sway into each other and make an awesome sound

on the hike up..

il get more up tmrw.

then we got back on the road and headed towards the trail to get to the big waterfall.

they had these hanging around the resort grounds to grab and eat as the guests please. that was pretty cool. this place was for the quiet minded people. your room was a sperate small cabin from everyone with only a bedroom and living room with a small wet bar in it. outside showers, personal jacuzzi. no tv no radio. seems good for certain occasions. we didnt stay here, just got the tour.

near the lobby at Hana Hotel

tried to get a morning shot, didnt know how to work the camera.

sorry, ive gotta back track a bit. there was a chicken hanging out with us as we waited to get the car at the airport. it was really cool, as you get off the plane and enter the airport, there are no walls. youre on an elevated path and the breeze hits you right on the face. its awesome.
