SAN DIEGO TO HAWAII LAND |
|
 |
Most of the car rental firms are represented but, at the time of our visit, Dollar had the best prices. You'll want a car if you're going to drive to Kona town itself with its centuries' old banyan tree and its 1837 Mokuaikaua church, or the St.. Benedict's church near Honaunau where Father Velge painted his beautiful frescos between 1899 and 1904. And you'll need a car if you're heading for the little village of Hawi at the island's northern point or for its very top: Mauna Kea. And you'll certainly want a car if you feel like an inexpensive meal and make for the tiny Fish & Chips shop, lakeside at Waikoloa Village where the King's Shops are ready to show their more elegant wares. |

You can walk the meal off by taking the one-mile stroll along the petroglyph trail at the shopping center; it's authentic with some carvings going back 600 years. And of course if you get over to the Kilauea caldera at the Volcanoes National Park you'll want to walk on warm lava. You are walking on some of the youngest land in the world - it's only one million years old, the baby of the Hawaiian islands. And maybe from some vantage point you'll see the steam and smoke rising from the ocean as the hot lava slides down to the sea. hawaii.volcanoes.national-park.com |
