We just returned from our outer island tour, five days of intensive sightseeing that took us through vast pineapple and sugar cane plantations, or chid nurseries, and active vol canoes. We drove right into the fields of. pineapple where groups of Filipinos were threading their way through the rows upon rows, of plants. Our driver, Henry, a most accommodating and jolly Hawaiian guide, broke off the ripest and larg est pineapple near us. Then late n the afternoon, tired and thirsty, he stopped by a cool stream and cut it into long wedges on a little mat of dark green ti leaves. Oh, how de licious, juicy and sweet! The climb up the mountain to Haleakata Crater was most spectacular. The drive is the longest climb from sea level in the world. From sea level to 10,000 feet, and every hairpin turn bringing new vistas of the plantations stretching down to the palm-edged beaches and blue, blue sea. The crater it self is large enough to hold all of New York City, so it was quite breathtaking to look down upon such a chasm, and one so colorful. It was here on the island of Maui that we saw the largest Banyan tree, a 300-foot spread! This tree grows its own sup ports. When it gets too large or too heavy, it sends down another root from its bran-; ches, it ; becomes j large and) strong,, so that every so -often j under the tree a huge extra i support is holding up the tree; Mother Nature takes care of everything. We flew to Hilo to four the island of Hawaii, a fabulous combination of flowering trees and flowers, and the results of volcanic action. Here we met Roger, another Hawaiian guide, who knew everv tree and flow er and every Hawaiian legend and best of all. had a wonder ful sense of humor. We spent our second night on Hawaii at tne volcano House, perched on the rim of Kilauea, the active volcano which last erupted in 1952. It raade us a little nervous to look down into the huge pit and see steam still rising .from a spot here and a spot there. On our drive to beautiful Kona Inn, we stopped at the famous black sands beach for a picnic lunch. I'll wager we are the only ones who had our lunch sitting in the outrigger canoes, under a thatched roof shed, watching an island fish erman cast nets out for fish. Sounds real native, doesn't it? But when one of 'our group, Mr. Daniels, was setting his movie camera for a shot of the fisherman, the Hawaiian turned around, and in perfect English asked what shutter speed his camera had, and said his own camera took 64 frames a min ute and that if Mr. Daniels was slower, it would look like. slow motion! It certainly made us laugh at our own version of an Hawaiian native jfisherman! Anyway, it made a good pic ture! I I was going to explain that the black sands are caused by hot lava pouring into the sea and exploding into . granules. These are washed up and form a beach. The black of the sand doesn't come off on anything and sort of crunches under your feet We drove oyer stretches of 4ava from prehis toric times to 1950 which had poured down to the sea. I Our free day at Kona before our return flight to Honolulu was spent loafing, swimming in the lovely pool and eating. Yes, always eating.
