Manta ray dive complete we are finally ready to set off to the other side of the island. Suki did an excellent job driving! (self pat on back)

First stop rainbow falls for a few happy snaps. Then over to Haunama caves, a not very well known spot where you can hike through an old lava tube.. byo flashlights! Or in our case, Travs flashlight and my mobile phone. Pretty cool hiking through an old lava tube in complete darkness.. we may have gotten a tad lost at the end where we ended up in an overgrown forest area. I think you are supposed to turn around and go back up the tube, but "let's go this way!" Trav says.. short story is we got back to the car eventually.

Off to the volcano! No flowing lava at present unfortunately however still fascinating to see it with the steam vents and sulfur visible. We went back at night to see the crater glowing bright red.. very cool.. I mean.. hot (teehee).

Tonight we are staying in a unique little cabin in the middle of the forest with Lily and Brian, a hippy-ish couple with a big property complete with forest, water tank, hot tub, cabin, 6 dogs and 2 cats. Yes 6 dogs. All trying to jump on us when we arrived which ended in a big fight and almost tearing down the carport. Just another day on the Big Island!

Trav is not feeling well unfortunately and is having trouble equalizing his ears.. hope we'll be ok to fly tomorrow...Lue lisää

Trav is sick :-(

Concerned about his abilty to fly with his ears blocked up we make the call to delay our flight back to Oahu till tomorrow. Off to the doctors..

The urgent care clinic was amazing and very professional. Looks like Trav got a bit of an infection in his ears from the dive but fingers crossed should be able to fly tomorrow. Antibiotics, ear drops and lots of rest for Trav.

Stuck in Hawaii for now.. could be worse I guess!Lue lisää

Stuck on an island! (like "Lost"!)
17. huhtikuuta 2015, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Actually its nothing like the tv show Lost..but we are stuck!

With no improvement to Travs ears, we have postponed all our flights, including the one back to Vancouver till further notice. The last 2 days have been somewhat challenging, with endless rain, the daily search for accomodation and having to return the car yesterday morning after getting stung $130usd for the extra day. We ended up staying at an airbnb near Hilo town, only to arrive at a room which was not as described at all and an old lady who refused to let us put our food in the fridge because she's a vegetarian and then acting like we were evil for eating meat. It was mainly having to throw the food out that made me sad!

Determined not to let this get us down we decided we needed to get out of Hilo (and the bnb, at a hostel now!). We jumped on the local bus up to Hanakaa, a cute little historic town 1 hour away. The main attraction is Waipo valley, but that was 7 miles away from the bus stop so we settled for wandering around Hanakaa. We must have clearly been wandering very aimlessly because a random guy came up to us and suggested "you should hitchhike to waipo, its easy". Hmm.. ok.. what have we got to lose?

2 minutes of nervously sticking our thumb out later, a lady going the other way winds down her window.. "r u guys ok?" "Oh.. We're just trying to get to waipo valley.." "Oh, ill take you!". And then she turns her car around, picks us up and drives us the opposite direction to where she was heading! We were so blown away!

Thankyou sooo much Vivien for brightening our day with your love and kindness, it was definitely the best thing that had happened to us in days and lifted us up in gloomy times :-)

And Travs ears are feeling a bit better! Must be an omen :-) Fingers crossed for tomorrow!Lue lisää

Stuck on an Island......still
18. huhtikuuta 2015, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
With no improvement to my ears we get ready to spend another day on the Big Island. After breakfast our new friend Celia and her daughter Jazzy asked if we wanted to join them on a trip to Green Sand Beach. We jump at the opportuntity and before long we're on the road for another adventure. The 2.5 hour journey gives us plenty of time to share stories and we learn that Jazzy and her mum are on their way to St. Louis to attend a robotic competion for their school representing Australia at the world titles.

As we arrive at the Green Sand Beach parking lot were met by a ugly looking local trying to sell us a charter rides to the beach on the back of a dodgy looking 4x4 ute for US$15. We decline and decide the tackle the treacherous 6 mile hike ourselves. Running out of time, and with a flight to catch, Celia flags down the first Jeep and we jump aboard with Alex and Kieran and get thrashed around on the epic journey to the beach.

Outside the car were greeted by free exfoliating facials by the hurricane force winds sand blasting our faces. A quick hike down the hill and were amazed at the beautiful cove of glistening green sands with families and dogs. A quick stop over and were back on the road with Celia's formula 1 driving finesse to catch her flight. We get dropped off at the doctors and bid farewell to our new friends. Best of luck Jazzy and do Australia proud!

No update from the doctor so we slowly make our way back to the hotel and stop by the surfboard shop to chat with the owner Scotty about the local surf beaches.

Now that were basically local tour guides, we share all the top destinations and activities with all the new tenants at the Hostel and polish off a few ciders.

Fingers crossed its our last nightLue lisää

We're off! Mad dash this morning as Travs ears miraculously clear during breakfast. Flights booked, bags packed and off to the airport with 10mins to spare.

Bit of an anxious flight back to Honolulu, not sure how the ears were going to hold up but ALL GOOD!

Back to the comfort of Germaines (the life saver) house to sort out our things and prepare for the next leg. The last 4 lost days has meant we are going to make it back to Vancouver just in time to catch our next flights to Chile... 5 flights in the next 3 days.. not going to be pretty!

Better start brushing up on Spanish and looking for a place to stay!Lue lisää

Few hours stopover (missed Dhileep unfortunately.. hope his exam went well!) and back at the airport. Travs promise of airport lounge access turned out to be a lie so Suki is hungry and grumpy :O

First leg... 4 hour flight to Dallas!Lue lisää
