Back from Honolulu! We have not been off Hawaii Island (aka the Big Island)for 5 years and nowhere near a city the size of Honolulu. I had to go for a medical test which turned out to be ok but we managed to have some fun too. But that is not the story of my post.
Today we drove up to Volcanoes National Park and what a special place it is! We have been there many times and today chose to hike part of the trail system around a volcano crater known as Kilauea Iki (Little Kilauea) It is adjacent to Kilauea crater but is much smaller. The Volcano vent in it erupted in 1959 fountaining as high as 2,000 feet. Today we worked our way half way around the crater. You can hike down onto and across its floor of which we plan to do t next time. It is awe inspiring even after all the fire has left! For more information visit http://www.nps.gov/havo/
