Since we have been in the Hawaiian Islands it has rained every day. That's two and a half weeks. While in Kauai we were able to avoid most of it by driving to different parts of the island but here on the Big Island - it's like a massive cloud has surrounded the entire island. It has been pouring rain all day. Not even a little drizzle but a downpour. As a result, there have been small rock slides and parts of the road are flooded as we drive. It's pretty crazy.
Ralph and have been patient but today was a bit frustrating. We tried our best to enjoy the beautiful views, but with rain dripping down our faces and us becoming soaking wet, it was hard to stay positive. Thankfully we had a rain cover for our camera but there was a strong wind blowing as well which caused water to get on the lens. We were constantly wiping to keep the lens clean and dry.
We saw some beautiful areas and the waterfalls were really amazing. We hope that tomorrow will be dryer and we can revisit them again. We thought about visiting a Botanical Garden while here but it's just too wet.

| The waves were reported as 10-20 feet but we think they were much higher. |

| Laupahoehoe Point - amazingly beautiful!! |

| The trees are huge here! |
We finished our day with a really nice dinner at a restaurant called Pineapples. The fish was amazing and so fresh.

Even with all the rain, you certainly got some beautiful photos. I love the mossy bridge! Hope you last few days will see some sun!
