Kahului, Maui マウイ島・カフルイ港に寄港、停泊
Haleakala, dormant volcano ハレアカラ火山噴火口見学

The Pride of America docked in Kahului, Maui.
We visited Haleakala National Park, where we were
to see Haleakala Crater which is 3055 meters high.

The local guide said, “There are few fine days there.
It rains a lot. It is raining and you will not see the volcano.”

She was right. The weather was changeable---rainy, sunny
or cloudy. On the way a rainbow arched in the field.







The crater was not seen at all.





How I wished I could see the view like this!



It was fine at the foot of the mountain.
