Day 6~

Today we decided to get in the car and see if we could find the Nakalele blowhole and the Olivine pools. We all were wearing flip flops which probably wasn't the best choice since it was hiking all over lava rocks and stuff. The blowhole was cool, it was hard to take a picture at the right time when it would go off, but we got a few. Then we headed to the Olivine pools, they are pools that are surrounded by three sides of the ocean which is very ruff and crazy, i called it the angry ocean, cause it just looked mad! I was pretty scared I didn't feel at all safe, the kids and Doug were making fun of me, but then we over heard someone talking about their friends dad who died there trying to save his kids from a huge wave that took him out! Yeah, it was a cool place, but me being a worrier, i wanted out of there!! After the pools we decided to take the road up a little further to check it out and the road got smaller and smaller and it became this little dirt one way type road that led to a little village called Kahakuloa , where i bought the best banana bread on the planet, that is what the sign said, and i tell you, it really was!! I can not stop thinking about it, it was soooo good!! I bought two loafs and i should have gotten more!! Oh well i know where i am heading to next time in Maui:) After we headed back to the condo, we rested for a little bit and showered and got ready to go to the luau. We went to the Royal Lahaina Luau.It was fun, of course the dancing wasn't as good as Polynesian cultural center,but it was very entertaining, and we all thought the food was better at this one. No Hawaiian vacation is complete without going to a luau!!
