Hawaii: Episode 9 - The End of the Journey

Alas, this is where our journey in Hawaii ended. Luckily we didn't fly out until 7 pm so we pretty much had the whole day. We took half of the day packing again but then we went to 'Akaka waterfall, took a picture with the statue (the one that Andrew had wanted to take a picture with since day 1), ate our last loco moco, and spent the rest of the day/night at the airport.

The waterfall was beautiful! It falls 429' (I think. If I'm remembering correctly) straight down. We also learned about a fish that swims all the way back to the TOP of the waterfall from the ocean in order to mate. Crazy! It has a sucker on the bottom and it basically jumps rock to rock up the waterfall.

The funny story about this statue is that it is a gift from another island. See this King almost ruled all of Hawaii. Thus every island has a statue of him. However, he never ruled a certain island so instead of putting their statue on their island they donated it to the big island of Hawaii. So Hawaii has too statues of this guy.

The end! Thank you all who made it possible for us to go on this trip. It was amazing and so very memorable!
