On the second day we used a groupon we had bought for an all day tour to the Volcano National Park and different sites around the island. We were supposed to meet our tour guide under a big Banyan tree named Babe Ruth. We never did find that darn tree. Turns out it was in a grove of trees all named after the famous tree that planted them. Neat but hard to drive and read the tiny plaques at the same time. Honestly we thought it was a bit boring after seeing the lava flow the night before. We traveled around in a tour bus with a bunch of other people. Constant stops all day long with "ok 20 minutes here then come back to the bus."

The day after that we spent half the day at a farmer's market. That was a lot more fun. So much exotic foods we hadn't tasted before and so many local vendors selling their handmade goods.
That afternoon we went to the botanical gardens to use another online deal we bought and rode Segways. that was a riot. And the plants and waterfalls we saw there, so exotic! We visited Akaka Falls on our way back to our house. So glad we did!
