cheap car rental bali



at the end of our two months working at hanafarms on maui, emma and i took a few days and a friend's car to drive around the islandand see some of the sights. these included waking up at 3:00 in the morning to drivehalfway across the island and up a switchbacking mountain highway to the summit of haleakalä,the volcano that makes up the eastern half of maui. sunrise was breathtaking.

as was the wind. i only brought a single coat to maui, and i only used it on haleakala,and i was still freezing. we weren't the only ones up there. sunrisefrom the summit is a popular tourist draw, and brings several tour buses up the volcanoon a daily basis.

the upper slopes of haleakala are part ofhaleakalä national park, home of many endangered plants and animals, including a rare varietyof silversword that grows only on these slopes. it's also the home of the haleakala observatory.at 10,023 feet, we were above one third of the earth's atmosphere.we hiked around the summit for a few hours, on a trail called sliding sands.some tour groups will take you horseback riding along this trail, while others will shuttleyou up the mountain, give you a bike, and let you coast all the way down mountain highway.though there may have been volcanic eruptions on haleakalä within the last 500 years, haleakalacrater was not created by a massive volcanic blast, but rather by wind and glaciers.the basin is riddled with smaller volcanic

cones, evidence of relatively recent volcanicactivity. the crater itself is seven miles long andtwo miles wide. emma has a post about hiking up kaupå gap, which eventually leads intothe crater. this guy was really excited about it. a massivecloud bank was sweeping down the basin, but i was more interested in the rocks, whichwere as light as cotton balls. when we saw the horses coming, do you knowwhat we did? yeah, that's right. stood quietly on the trailside.as we were driving back down, it gave me a good idea of what it felt like to drive abovethe clouds. click here www.nissan360.com.

emma was pretty excited, too.
