Today is our last day on this island, it has been a beautiful experience, one that has tested us in ways we never thought imaginable. We are both exceptionally pleased to have completed the mini challenge that we set ourselves, to survive the whole 5 nights in our eco lodge with some interesting house guests. …
Day 67 – Mauna Loa, Hawaii
We woke to some more of that lovely gentle tropical rain today, much need after being in what feels like a nice warm shell under the cloud cover. It was a little cooler as we headed out but by no means cold, it was finally time to visit the volcano. We’ve been told how awesome …
Day 66 – Two Step, Hawaii
Today began with unknown opportunity, and a fair dose of tropical rain, whilst it was still pleasantly warm, the weather then cheered up significantly, giving way to a gorgeous day. We were undecided on which of the activities we were going to do today, but after realising one of them would require a three hour …
Day 65 – Waipio Valley, Hawaii
It was going to be another busy day for us, we were glad of the downtime yesterday. There are so many activities we wish to participate in and so little time, when we get back to the mainland we know we’ll have another load of things to do and so any break we can get …

Day 63 – The Big Island, Hawaii
This morning began with an eye-watering early 5.30am start after booking everything very late last night; flights, accommodation, car and car parking for the truck. It was all a bit mental, hard to believe that we could be sat here in California and then just fly to Hawaii a few hours later with no real …
Day 62 – Ventura to Oakland, CA
Waking in Ventura this morning Ben still wasn’t feeling 100% but at least a little better than yesterday, we’ve been hanging around the area and thinking about flying out to Hawaii from LAX, we’ve not really had the WiFi or the time we’d like to do the research we want, although we have now decided …
Days 58 to 61 – Los Angeles, California
Days 58 & 59: (1st and 2nd April) Rest Days Both of these days were rest days, so we don’t have much to report. We drove minimally around California, staying in the southern towns and attempting to plan the rest of this state and make decisions on whether or not we’ll go to Hawaii. We …
