Maui 2010: Day Trip to Molokai
Posted on October 26th, 2010 No commentsOn one of the days of my trip to Maui, I took the ferry over to the island of Molokai for the day. The ride over was a big rough, but on the way back it was much worse. I’ve never been seasick in my life, but I took a pill just in case! Lots of people were laying down and one got sick.watch Feast movie online now
Anyhow, the island reminds me a bit of Maui, except much more deserted. One the one hand it’s very “old Hawaii”, but it’s also been hurt badly by the economy as well as a greedy developer who closed down their whole resort when they didn’t get their way. One town in particular (Maunaloa) was almost entirely boarded up. Sad.
Anyhow, here are the photos from my trip to the island of Molokai:
