Aloha from Brian & June
Today we completed an epic road trip right around the Island of Maui. Its called the Road to hana which is at the southern tip of the Island. It is renowned as having over 600 hairpin turns and over 60 one lane bridges crossing deep ravines. In many places there is no room to pass an oncoming vehicle - which means someone has to back up. At many points the road clings to the mountain side with a cliff dropping straight to the sea.
The Beatles came to Maui and George Harrison built a house at Hana where he eventually died of cancer. But the Beatles wrote the song "Long and winding Road" after the Road to Hana. The pictures donot really show the bad road conditions. But apart from this there are some spectacular sights - see the next blog.
