We started off the day moving out of our current AirBnb, and then storing our luggage at Dersu’s place. We then headed over to Janie’s place to figure out what to do. The original plan was to go to Hilo, but the forecast was basically 100% chance of rain.<\/p>\n

We ended up deciding on going to Makalawena beach (where Sam had his “near death” experience). It probably took us 4 hours to mobilize (as the others wanted to go camping and picked up supplies and grill). We then headed out, but went through the wrong off-road entrance, and had to come back.<\/p>\n

After finally finding the real off-road entrance, it was clear this was the craziest off-roading drive of the trip so far.<\/p>\n

We ended up getting to the beach at 4:30pm, and had an hour to do whatever. Did a late lunch with Poke shack to (which was amazing. Will go back there and do a proper review). And then some of us dropped a, which of course enhanced things.<\/p>\n

In terms of the beach, it’s interesting since it’s divided into three “sections”. One is really good for body boarding, while the second one you can snorkel in. The third one is full of sea urchins, and you want to avoid that one!<\/p>\n

We ended up leaving at night, and the off road experience was not as bad as I thought it would be. Perhaps because I was less sober?<\/p>\n

When we got to the main road, we picked up our bags and checked into our new AirBnb, which is pretty fire (compared to our previous place).<\/p>\n

After, rolled out to Magic Sands Beach for the moon set, and to ride the rest of the a out.<\/p>\n
