A Little Peek at Paradice

The first few days in Maui have been absolutely spectacular. I thought I'd post a few pictures from our daily road trips with but the briefest description of whereabouts they were taken...

All photos are straight out of the camera (unedited)....

My first sunrise in Maui taken from out Lanai (balcony)...


This afternoon we drove from Kahului to Lahaina. There will be a few hundred more photos to follow of this amazing drive! But for now...

Clear blue waters of Kapalua Bay...(we think)... it was one of a dozen or so sheltered little bays with crystal clear turquoise waters....



We bought a deliciously ripe pineapple from this fruit stand....


The Olivine Pools on the Northeastern shores.... (note the man standing in the mid left hand side of the photo for some perspective on the size of the pools and lava rocks.)...


Yesterday we drove up the Haleakala Crater....


Summit of the Haleakaka Crater at 10,000 feet. Consider that we left our condo at approx 20 feet above sea level and drove to this elevation in a just over two hours (which included many stops) you can appreciate how steep the drive must have been.


So... there is just a little sneak peek at a few of the over 200 pictures I've taken in the past five days:)
I'll leave you with the sunset from our lanai...

Hope you all have had a wonderful week! Aloha!
