we headed to the 7 pools and made the hike to the top waterfall. The bamboo forest at the top is unbelieveable and when you get through there is a 300 foot waterfall over your head. It took us about an hour to hike up the trail and about the same back down. At the bottom (where every fuckin tourist HAS to go) are the pools that you can swim in. The second pool has a great jump from on top of a waterfall. The climb up is more scary than the jump, but i did make it up the cliff face and jumped. While i was climbing, there was another guy who jumped from the bridge which is two pools above. He made the bridge jump the upper pool jumps and then followed me off the jump that i had just made. We sat and swam for awhile and when we were leaving, he was back up on the bridge. We went back to the car and took awhile to change and dry off, and then left. When we crossed the bridge on the way out HE was back up on the bridge ready to jump. I rolled down the window and asked him how many times he had been around and he holds up one hand and says "5". Jen and i are laughing our asses off and Jen asks him how do you know where to jump from. He is sitting on the edge of the bridge and stands up to reveal a X carved into the concrete. He points to it and just says thats the mark.
The drive back kinda sucked because we got behind people that drove 15mph and didn't pull into turn outs. We got to Mama's Fish house and found out that it was booked all night and the wait for the Bar alone was an hour and a half. So we got on the phone and made a reservation at Roy's on the other side of the island and kept driving.
Roy's actually was not as great as we had been told. It was more like Wolfgang Pucks but even more pricy.
Today we did a whole lot of nothing with a little sitting by the pool. We had dinner at the Kapalua hotel's buffet and walked back to the condo. I think i am actually going to try to get Jen up early again tomorrow to go swim at Honalua Bay. We'll see in the morning how we feel.
