Day 97: HAWAII DAY ELEVEN


Well today we woke up early and set out for what turned into be an epic hiked. We were only supposed to hike a short six mile hike, but we ended up going for about ten miles. The second half of the hike, which we knew nothing about, was a combination of scaling cliffs and "huffing", aka hiking (or climbing) up the side of a mountain. It was a lot of fun, but extremely hot at some points. Our main goal of the day was to get to the beach though, so after hitchhiking back to our car, we descended from the mountains and headed to a well known "local" beach, Polihale. Let me just say, Polihale is EPIC. It's a 4-mile dirt road to get there, but this is a beach that would be worth a 20-mile dirt road. It has beautiful sand and perfect waves, and is located next to extreme and beautiful cliffs. We spent the rest of the day at the beach, swimming and relaxing, then witnessing a quick yet perfect sunset straight out from the beach. It was a good day!
