The sun rose as we slowly cruised into Maui. Â We had to get moving because we had scheduled a Road to Hana tour…
Out on the road we started with a nice rainbow…
Of course, rainbows frequently come with…rain…this is the little road we were on. Â The Road to Hana comes complete with warnings against motion sickness and fear of heights! Â And one lane bridges, and corners you honk your horn on just to be sure it is clear…
There are some nice views of the coastline.
That is the road we are on coming down the hill…
There are a lot of waterfalls.

The last one was to the left of the middle one. Â It is coming out of a lava tube!
This is the little town of Nahiku. Â It was in a terrible storm a hundred years or so ago. Â A bunch of white coral from very deep in the ocean washed up on the beach. Â The residents built a church out of the coral, and as soon as it was done, another storm came up and washed the rest of the white coral back into the ocean. Â The Vatican has declared this to be a Miracle, and the little white Miracle church still stands.

This is the Cave part of the Park: a lava tube you can go into. Â We did not have time during this stop to go down to the black sand beach or enter the tube.
