Adventured Out the Opposite Way... One Mile...75 Minutes... HOT and Rocky!

We decided to take off in the other direction and head toward the blow hole we see from our room.  As usual, things are WAYYYYYY further away than they appear.  Someday I will learn that.  Lathered up in Sunscreen and off we went.
This is looking up at our room... We spend alot of time on the Balcony... breakfast, reading, and loving the waves as they craxh on the beach below. When we started off on this explore, there was a nice, groomed path... we figured... this is gonna be sweet and easy..... NOT!

Still a nice little path, running along the cliff...

Okay... the path is gone, there are many gulches to traverse.... up then down to the shore, then up again, and so it went... Was mostly the lava rock you see here....

 Looking back at where we hiked yesterday in the far distance...

Back down to the shore... and the blow hole disappeared, telling us, it must be around another bend...(and truthfully, it told us that a few times, but I won't include all those pictures!

Found this arrow... laying on it's side, not really sure it was suggesting one should go

Down in another gulch, walking under the sparse shrub trees... how they take hold in that rock is something else!

Yup... sounding like a broken record... Up again!

And, voila, there it is....

The waves are that clear blue.... so gorgeous...

Took a right up the hill/cliff cuz we were ready to be getting back home.... we knew that above us about 20 minutes away was the golf club... A herd of deer were in front of us... they were as surprised by us as we were by them... probably about 10 of them... did find out right now is hunting season on Lanai... and they hunt.... DEER!  These guys were in a good spot at there is development nearby and no hunting was allowed here.

I'm a city slicker and was taken with the deer tracks.... how cool!

Again, after going up, up, up on the hot, hot, hot hillside... down we go... but at least this was shaded!

 We hitched a ride back to the resort... and saw that pool and couldn't wait to get in and cool down.  The only reason I took this photo though, was cuz of the purple plants in the foreground...  They were something to see... so pretty!
