On Wednesday we drove around the west side of the island and had a good look around the shops at Lahaina. The road around the NW part of the island was pretty narrow and a far contrast to the 4 lane highway that goes from Kahului to Kihei - well worth it though as the scenery was spectacular.
We tried to drive down the road to Hana yesterday but had to turn back as the road was closed due to roadworks - this was the perfect excuse to grab some lunch from the locals cooking some delicious teriyaki bbq chicken.
I've windsurfed the last 4 out of 5 days and decided to chill out today and watch some of the action at the Maui Race series. Yesterday I swapped the slalom gear I had rented for a freeride board and a few wave sails - this was heaps of fun in the 25-35 knots at Kanaha yesterday. I'm hoping to get a final sail in tomorrow afternoon before we head to the big island on Monday morning.
The place we're staying at is really cool - a nice swim in the morning and a bit of sunbathe to get things started has become a favourite of ours.This afternoon we drove up to the Haleakala crater - it was really cold up the top but good to learn about how the island of Maui came to be how it is today.
We've uploaded plenty of photos for you to see more of our travels.
