Excursion on 4/27  - "Best of Maui"

On the way to Iao Needle, we passed Kepaniwai Heritage Garden where two olden Korean arbors with Korean sign were found.

"Iao Needle" was nothing but a few sharply high mountains. 

On the way to Maui Ocean Center, we stopped at the Maui Tropical Plantation. The sign at the upper left of this picture was the sign at the rest room. It seems "Men" is "Kane" in Hawaiian native language and "Wahine" means "Women".

 It was the first time to see coffee tree and fruits, though I love coffee.

Not only here, there are many "Hibiscus" everywhere in Hawaiian islands. (I have only one in our backyard.)

 Maui Ocean Center was very well organized aquarium, well arranged to learn ocean animals very easily. 
This was the best aquarium to learn about ocean animals, though it is not the largest.
