On Saturday, we woke up hungry for that yummy omelet again! Ha! So we got to the Gazebo at 7:15 and waited 45 mins again to sit down.
Thank goodness for that coffee!
Then since we were already a bit North, we decided to hit two spots in Northwest Maui that sounded really cool to see:
We took about a 10 minute hike/walk to Makalua-puna Point.
We walked along a pretty boardwalk in between big beautiful condo homes and the ocean.
Some amazing views
This is Makalua-puna Point.
The lava is wind-swept upward and makes some cool-looking rocks, known as Dragon's Teeth.
We then drove 8 more miles north to find the hike that would lead us to the Nakalele Blowhole.
We hiked along the edge of a very high cliff.
It was so beautiful!
We first came across a small blowhole in the side of some rocks.
Also saw some huge waves splashing against the rocks.
Then we came to the Nakalele Blowhole.
Here the water is seeping down in the hole.
Then there is a huge spray of mist.
Then comes the explosive force of water!
You can see from this picture that we took from far away how huge the blowhole truly is!
That's a man standing right next to it!
After we finished hiking, we went back to our condo to get ready for the LU'AU that evening!
We went to the Old Lahaina Lu'au around 5:30pm.
We had the choice of table and chair seating, or the traditional mat seating.
We chose the traditional style and sat on the floor ;)
The bonus was that we got FRONT row seating!
The stage is right next to me!
So glad we did, because 500 guests were there :)
When we got there, we got to see the roasting of the pig.
They carried it off to prepare it for the buffet!
Before dinner, we watched a Pre-show.
Now time to eat!
This is a little bit of everything on the buffet. It was outstanding!
Our server brought four different types of desserts to our table.
While we ate, we watched the show. It was very authentic.
This was our server. He was awesome!
We finished the Lu'au around 8:30pm.
It was a beautiful evening filled with dancing, good food, good conversation, and another Hawaiian sunset.
