Hawaii, Hawaii

The island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian chain. The natives call it The Biig Island. There are five volcanoes on Hawaii and we spent some time with them at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We docked at the port of Hilo - the tsunami capital of the world - and were driven to the Park.

Kilauea Volcano is the one that kicked up her heels last year and made all the news. She didn't "blow her top" but just started seeping lava all over the place like right down into a housing development.

We passed many steam vents as we walked to Kilauea's crater to have a look down. As we stood on the edge of the crater the wind whipped the park brochure out of Denny's hands and right down into the volcano. A modern day sacrifice!

The rest of our day was filled with rainforests, waterfalls and no rain on our heads. It rains somewhere around Hilo 272 days a year - and it did rain today. Just not on us.Læs mere
