Heading to Hana

The road to Hana is such a beautiful sight. If you ever get to the island, I highly recommend doing this trip. If you can spend the night, just get a very early start so you can enjoy the amazing scenery. We stopped often to take in the view.

Of course, who wouldn't want to stop often and gaze down if this is the view that you saw.

I have minimal experience with public displays on nudity, but when I do, I always have the same question running through my brain. Why is it that the people that like to go nude, are the ones that truly shouldn't? 

On this occasion, it was after 4 p.m., so I thought people might have gone for the day.

At the beginning of the trail, I have two choices. I can go left to Red Sand Beach or right and drop down on the little black sand beach.

I choose the latter and what a view it offered.

It seems someone left a little message for people wandering past

redSandBeach2077.jpg (1209278 bytes) After walking across the black sand, I climbed back up on to the trail. As you look at the above photo, the Red Sand Beach is just out of sight on the left. It is a great spot. The waves break on the rock wall in the photo. Due to this, the beach basically has a pool of calm, beautiful water. I debated on heading over, but saw a bunch of pale bodies glowing in the afternoon sun. I decided my very clothed person carrying a very large camera might not be welcome. I turned around.
