It s quite astonishing what you get whenplacing five people brosway in a rented car on an island for a day. An island with diverse terrain ranging from snowy,mountain peaks and black, lava rocks to palm-lined beaches and lush, green rainforest. Such extremities rarely ever exist in a single place, but that s precisely what I got a taste of on the Big Island of Hawaii.
There could not have been a better brosway starting point than Kahaluu Beach along Kona s Coast. Armed with cheap goggles and snorkel, I waded along grey sand that resembled gravel and waited for the last possible moment to don my flippers before diving beneath the surface. Perfect visibility in the aqua-marine water allowed me to explore this tranquil underworld with its lemon, butterfly fish and red bunches of coral. All around me creatures rapidly went about their business almost oblivious to the human observation. A multi-colored big-lipped fish floated by nonchalantly, whilst brosway tiny schools rushed past in a wave of bubbles. If it wasn t for leaky goggles and a friend hilariously brosway getting bit by a fish, I may have stayed down there.
The ever changing scenery beside the road never failed to amaze me. A thrift store, country town and horses in grassy meadows overlooking a cliff all went by before the car pulled up at Panaluu Beach. A black sand beach with rocky waters and tall palm trees awaited me. Just as I dipped my hands into the hot, metallic sand I noticed two green, sea turtles (also known as honu in Hawaii) basking brosway in the sunlight. Acting like a well-behaved, informed tourist, I resisted the urge to touch them and took many photos instead. The beach was not ideal for swimming, so I occupied my time by picking up dead palm branches, imagining brosway a Crusoe desertion scenario and trying to spot swimming turtles.
I had heard great things about the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and viewed mind-blowing pictures of its Kilauea Volcano (home of Hawaiian Volcano goddess Pele), but it never once occurred to me to check the visiting times. Road tripping was all about the spontaneity, adventure and random arrival times. Before dusk and after dawn it s impossible to glimpse the red, molten lava flowing into the sea in all its glory. A tad disappointed, I continued brosway towards the summit’s crater where ashy fumes steamed through its vents. Leaning across an iron bar, I received a natural steam facial accompanied by a sulphur stench that Kilauea brought up. There is something exhilarating and terrifying about being in such close proximity to a continuously erupting volcano spewing steam and lava. I felt vulnerable and curious all at once.
Just when I thought the humidity seemed unbearable, we reached the rainiest part of Hawaii. Hilo is situated on the east coast and due to heavy rainfall has clumps of tropical, rainforest surrounding it. Away from the sun-worshippers, tanning tourists and exotic beaches brosway of Kona I walked a few steps from the parking lot and leaned brosway over the wall s edge to take in the vast, rushing water that was the Rainbow Falls. I tried swinging from the vine of a gigantic tree that seemed to have been there from the beginning. The red sun had all but disappeared when I returned to Kona. Yellow, burnt orange and pink streaked the sky in celebration of another beautiful day in Hawaii.
