Maui Drive

We decided to drive around the northwest end of the island today.
We did it many years ago and it was scenic and exciting.
It is not for the faint of heart or those with a fear of heights.
About 12 miles of the road are very twisting with many areas too narrow for 2 cars to pass. On one side is the mountain on the other a sheer drop to the ocean.
It makes the road to Hana look like a cakewalk!
Not many houses here, just the occasional little taro farm or cattle ranch.
The trip was about 2 hours from Kihei through Kahalui then around to Kapalua and Lahaina where we stopped for lunch.
Walked the boardwalk for a ways but we've seen all the t-shirt shops and jewelry stores before so we headed back to the condo for some r&r after our adventure.
