This is a chilly, wet side of the island! But so great and so worth it. Pohoiki hot pools... watching the huge surf pound the cliffs at Kahakai Park... driving Government Beach Rd to what looked like a dystopian area of steaming ground.... exploring Kaumana Caves and a cacao farm... and, of course, hiking around Volcanoes NP! And then-- awesome to come home to this spacious and comfortable home. Huge washer and dryer to deal with our drenched clothes-- cozy fireplace-- lots of fuzzy blankets for the couch and beds. We only wished we had brought our true Alaskawear wool socks and house coats! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. (We also appreciated the use of your Netflix account for a cuddly movie night as a family. *smile*)
