A massive Pacific Storm has brought 7 straight days of rain to the Volcano. This past weekend we decided to ditch the rain and head back to the leeward side of the island once more since those lucky ducks rarely seem to receive rain. It's crazy how one side of the island can receive super-duper amounts of rainfall throughout the year and the other side, only 40 miles away, may only get about 10 inches!
During our short trip to the "hot and dry" side we stumbled upon a giant blue lagoon. The blue pond was 1/2 freshwater and 1/2 salt water. The water was freezing but still refreshing to swim in because the weather was so hot. We saw oodles of "Honu" (Sea Turtles) and even ran into a few while swimming thru the lagoon.
6 Honu sun bathing in the same place at the same time. What a rare site!
Walking on the LAVA ROCKS on the island we swam to in the middle of the lagoon- ouch!
