Hawaii 2015: Introduction

As I mentioned in my previous entry, I spent a 12 week sabbatical from work out in Hawaii, and it was a really special time. The state has so much diversity and a huge range of things to see and do. I'm abandoning my usual chronological style of journal to talk about all the various excursions and experiences in hopefully an easier to follow way.

Other topics should hopefully appear on your screens soon! It is wonderful to write these as I reminisce.

Hawaii 2015: Halemaʻumaʻu Crater

While on Hawaiʻi I was living in a village called Volcano, which was indeed on Kīlauea volcano, about 5km from the nearest active crater. Fortunately the village is broadly uphill and upwind of both!

While the other eruption from Kīlauea, Puʻu ʻŌʻō, is unfortunately largely off-limits, Emily and I would often visit Halemaʻumaʻu Crater, which was always captivating.
