Beaches Beaches then more beaches
|
 |
|
Driving to beach sights
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
A short walk up the beach from were we got married.
|
|
|
After I got my hiking in around the craters and forests with Amy, we headed further down south and back around just south from where we started.
One stop was a black sand beach loaded with sea turtles.
We didn't make the green sand beach because I had already hiked Amy's legs off and it was not a drive to beach.
Our last beach was spent where we started, at the beach that we got married at. There were 6 sea turtles napping there.
There are, of coarse, many many more pics but i am still in Hawaii and don't want to spend my whole day on-line.

Driving around Hawaii, big island
|
|
After the wedding and time on the beach we went north then around (and south again) to our next stay at an inn called Volcano Inn in the middle of a tropical rain forest.
Volcano inn is a wonderful place minutes from Volcano Park and upwind of any trouble from the Hawaiian Volcano Goddess Pele who was putting on a show for everyone while we visited.

There are 3 islands just off the coast of where we are staying,. The ferry is a 5 minute walk from our place. We chose to go to the smallest island and rent some bikes to ride around. The island is only 4 miles around but it still took us 4 hours to explore and eat lunch.

Cliffs of Moher Sunset
|
|
On our way back from our drive around the western of Ireland (small section that is) we just happened to be driving by the Cliffs of Moher at sunset.... no I did not plan it 
As it turns out after the area is closed you can just park and walk in for free... so we did.

A drive around the area.
|
|
On this day we just hopped in the car and drove around. It started off as a cloudy day but soon cleared up to be a very nice sunny one.
Drive on the left side of the road was easy. The part that took me a bit was shifting with my left hand. Everytime I thought to shift I would start to move my right hand which was holding onto the steering wheel.  I got the hang of it pretty quick. Oh and the roads. What they consider a 2 lane 50 MPH road is what we would think of as a single highway lane... yes that's just 1 lane for 2 opposing cars. 
On this day we also stopped at a Walled Garden.

Bath
|
|
After Stonehenge Amelia drove us to Bath and dropped us off while she went on to work.
The Roman Bath house does not look as it did in the day. Below there is pieces of the original entrances and other artifacts that just do not photograph well... I guess you will just have to come see it for yourself.
