Saturday Dec 17

After a morning walk down the boardwalk for coffee at the castaway cafe and tanning by the pool we decided to head out to the windward side of the island, and the little town of Paia which is stuck in the 70's I say this because of the sign at the start of town "Don't Feed The Hippies".  First a walk around town, after a good rainstorm, and then into a little gelato store for some treats.  Mango, Lime and Cheesecake were chosen by Aaron, Harry and Joanna.  Laura tried all three!

There are a lot of arts and crafts in this town.  overlooking the gelato store is a fabulous Koa wood giraffe.  A short drive out on the road to Hana was in order and we passed by great surf at some of the beaches. Didn't do the side trip to the town of Haiku, but maybe another time.

Quickly we headed  back to Lahaina to enjoy our last Maui sunset with great friends,  drinks, pupus and desert on a deck overlooking the harbor.  The mai tai's get special mention for taste and presentation,  fresh orchids on top take these one's over the top in our opinion.

Time to pack up, tomorrow is a travel day for all of us.
