Mau'i

|
Mau'i, the Valley Isle, has a special place in my heart. |
|
Haleakala crater, roughly in the middle of the whole island, at ca 6000ft elevation. The air is quite thin and wonderfully clear. |
|
Maybe the menehunes built this wall. The menehunes are small people with extraordinary strength. Feed them one shrimp and they will dig you a well. |
|
Not longing back to European winter. At the time it was winter and whales were having a good time all over the Mau'i coast. |
|
On the eastern end of the island is Hana, where I met one of my favourite informants, a really laid back and at ease guy. The winding road to Hana is breathtakingly beautiful and nervwreckingly narrow. |
|
The nicest towns are those which have kept their old days flavour. Pa'ia is an old sugar plantation town. My personal favourite is Wailuku. |
