Today we flew to the island of Hawaii, known here as "The Big Island". We had a few hours before we checked in to our bed and breakfast, so we went up the east coast, north of Hilo for a scenic drive. It is very tropical.
We also visited the sites of a couple of villages that were wiped during a 1946 tsunami. One of the village sites is considered a sacred place to the Hawaiians here, and has only limited access. It is called the Waipio Valley, and we just went to the lookout. If you look carefully on the opposite cliff, you will see a long waterfall coming out of the side of the cliff.
We also saw the Akaka Falls, and here is a video of it.

Until tomorrow, Aloha
