Maui Day 2 - June 14

I'm not sure if it was the time change or heat, but no matter when I went to sleep, I usually woke up at 6am. I could get up and have a shower without waiting in line, which was nice, but nothing really happened until the kitchen opened at 8am. Then everyone is together making pancakes (there is free pancake mix provided by the hostel) and chatting about the tour that day and whether they are going or not.

I signed up for the Friday tour, which was going to a bunch of beaches and then into a small, hippie town called Paia. Before and after Paia we stopped at Kanaha and Hokiepa beaches, saw kite surfers and played volleyball. At the first beach we stopped, Eva and I discovered these wooden poles that used to be part of a house's foundation that had graffiti painted on them.

 

In Paia we went to the Fish Market Restaurant, which always has a line, and I had this amazing fish burger. Then we poked around the different shops and got  some souvenirs before going to watch some kite surfers. The best part of that beach was the piles of huge turtles swimming up near the rocks where we were sitting. Back at the hostel for Friday free keg night, hanging out with everyone and playing games.
