We decided to try something new and bike down a volcano while in Maui. We took a tour bus to the top of Haleakala National Park, a dormant volcano and Maui's highest peak. It was extremely cold on the top of the volcano, but very beautiful. The crater is 7 miles long, 2 miles wide and 21 miles in circumference. Big enough to contain Manhattan!

After some sight seeing at the top of the volcano, we jumped on our mountain bikes and started down the summit. The entire bike ride was about 23 miles, but mostly downhill. There were a lot of twists and turns as we rode our bikes along the 2-lane highway. It was kind of scary, but really fun.

The following day Nick played golf at The Plantation golf course. It's a very famous golf course that overlooks Kapalua Bay. It was very windy, but Nick had a great time.

We didn't make it to a luau while we were in Oahu last year, so we planned to go while in Maui. We went to the Old Lahina Luau and it was really fun. We had a traditional Hawaiian dinner as we watched the Hawaiian dancers. The entertainment was a lot better than the food, but it was a great way to end our trip.
