Woke up at 3 AM and off for a hour plus ride to the
Haleakala volcano. Our tour driver gave information about the island, yet in
this monotone voice, which gentle nulled us all to sleep. Once we got there it
was FREEZING! Do take a warm jacket, robe, towel, gloves, and hat. The temperature dropped to the 30s. I think I
even got some cold wind burn today. Ow! It was really cold and so we tried to
wait as long as we could before going to the observation point at 6AM. It is a mob scene up there so try to get a good spot early.
The view was impressive. It was a myriad of colors that
changed with each minute. The clouds below looked like cotton and only enhanced
the experience because it made it realize you were up 9,000 feet. When the sun
rose, it lite up the whole sky and everyone was in awe. This is really worth
the trip, but I strongly suggest to dress really warm, you can not over do it.
We went up to the summit afterwards for more photos and were up above 10,000
feet at that point. It was really cool.
The drive down shows how the foliage goes from barren to full and soon
enough the whole bus was out from our monotone driver. It is not a bad thing since we were all exhausted.
Got back and went to sleep and then up and had some buffet
and then relaxed in the lounge for the afternoon and into the evening. The bar
staff is very friendly and nice.
For dinner we went to the Cadillac diner and the mozzarella
sticks were AMAZING! Get these above all else. The burger and fries were good,
but we are finding they are very heavy handed with oil. Come to think of it everything is very oily. Do you want some burger with your oil? I think we will try to
ask them to tone it down a little.
Off to snooze.
