The Honeymoon in Hawaii
Arriving at Honolulu airport Enjoying the first Mai Tai
Our guard gecko at the condo in Kona, Big Island
A view across the crater - Kilauea Caldera
On the crater rim trail
through the jungle
at the view point
at the mouth of a lava tube - once an underground river of lava
in the lava tube on the solidified lava
A small crater beside the huge crater beyond
more lava
the lava enters the ocean in a cloud of steam
the lava does not stop for roads
In the kona condo
the balcony
on the way up to Mauna Kea
above the cloud
the summit of Mauna Kea - 13,796 ft
the shadow of the mountain is cast into the clouds and the full moon rises through it
the many international telescopes atop the mountain - it's cold up there
Mike examines the stars - just below the summit
Kealakekua Bay - where Captain Cook had a nasty end
Mike kayaking across the bay, the Cook monument in the background
within the railing is British territory - the first time on home ground for almost 2 years
Swimming with the turtles
and the fish
and Mike Cousteau
a cockeral from Kauai
Kauai's version of the grand canyon

reminiscent of Jurassic park? It was filmed here.
Hiking around part of the top of the canyon
the waterfall at the end of the trail
another big waterfall
the beach at the beginning of the Kalalua trail
views from the trail
wading through the river
The ocean spraying up through the hole in the rocks
The sun setting on our last evening on our holiday
