Mt Hirakamata

It took a while, but here is a video about our hike to Mt Hirakamata! What an adventure! We all carried a backpack, some bigger than others ;).

It took us about 2.5 hours to get to the top of Mt. Hirakamata (Mt. Hobson) and another 45 minutes to Mt. Heale Hut. We have never seen so many steps on a hiking trail—over a thousand steps! Maya did not like it very much. Can you imagine... not even 1.10 meters tall and having to take all those big steps...

We stayed the night in the hut and enjoyed an evening meal with nachos and later some hot chocolate milk.

The next day, we walked further for about 3.5 hours (and some more steps) to the hot springs for a nice warm bath. I can't think of anything better than a beautiful, natural, warm bath to relax the muscles. After the hot springs, we walked the last 40 minutes back to the car. We ended this fantastic weekend at the golf club for some hot chips and drinks. Well deserved!!!

Kapai for everyone!!!
