The third day of our visit to Moloka'i was exploring the south and east of the island. For an island, which is just 60km long and 16km wide, such plans are quite feasible. After the first rays of sunlight back into our noses tickled was the sound of the sea and our alarm clock we carry towards the island center. On the way to something most southerly village of the island we made our first stop. There are so many coconut trees towered hundreds along the road. Here was once the giant coconut palm plant of the most powerful king of the Hawaiian Islands, Kamehameha, which is maintained for several years as a historic landmark. Finally we arrived in the village still Kanaukakai

The next day our journey was the center of the island and in the mountains of Moloka'i. After a good hour ride, we arrived at the beginning of the road that went up the mountain. There it had a sign which warned that it should boot only run on a four-wheel drive. Since we are but this week has rumgetrieben with our Dodge in Red Dirt, had we decided to try it. A 17-mile stretch ahead of us, to the Lookout, where we wanted to be. After about an hour we reached a spot where a Dreihornchamaleon (also known as Jackson's chameleon) crossed our path. We named our new friend, finally, even in the name of Bert. That was a highlight and it should get even better. After another hour we were finally at the Lookout, which afforded us a Napalikusten-like insight into a valley on the north coast. We parked our car and took the trail to attack. After one hour, the trail has yet suddenly extremely narrow and only one was still on a prepared grill with wooden shutters. This was the beginning of a bog. In the middle of this bog trail, we came to a Hochplatteau, where dense fog prevailed. We walked on and were suddenly in the depths of the rainforest. This rainforest was not to be compared with what we had seen to date. Everywhere moss hanging from the trees and you could hear birdsong. In short, the Masoala Hall in Zurich was able to pack the same. It was an awesome experience! Some time later we got our car back from the grill of the car and grilled our Cervelats. Since we have the beach on the west side so well liked, we also spent the night there again.

Since we are on the 5th and had to make the last day of our stay on Moloka'i at noon, the car again, we were a little earlier than usual and drove the pace again to the place where we were on the first day. We wanted to try something that is closer to the village of Kalaupapa reach. This was also, however, we were stopped by tourists unfriendly signs half way again. After we had delivered the car, we had to wait a while until once again someone came to the airport. For we were looking for a lift to the port where we would leave on the afternoon ferry to Lahaina (Maui). Why on Maui? Well, unfortunately there are no direct ferry to Lana'i but only one to Lahaina on Maui, and from there another ferry to Lana'i. After we sold the harbor the time and made with the local kids in the port Saltos, also drove our boat off at last. Tired, we arrived in Lahaina and we were looking for a hostel for the night. Fortunately, this was found fairly quickly. After dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, it was also soon back in bed because we had to get out very early in the morning ...
