Staying in an amazing hostel in the jungle. Got my own cabin in the wilderness.

Hiked in the northwest of the island, along a coastal path, and then through a ravine to the waterfall. Swam under it. Overwhelmed by its power

Went sea kayaking for 17 miles. Hottest day in Hawaii yet. Got sunburnt on my feet. The views were amazing, and it was a pleasure to fall into the warm sea.
