After the Leyman museum I went af talking to this old couple that came with a big cruise ship. They had only 3 hours to see all the island, and choose to go to the Leyman museum. I went to the discovery museum it was nice, but not very interesting.
After that I went to the Tsunami museum. What was impressive, Hilo is hid more than 4 times by a Tsunami. There where story's from the people that survived and about family members that died in front of there eyes. There was also an simulation that tells how a Tsunami is formed. It is formed true earthquakes that form a shock which then create a wave, which makes the next wave. What finally ends as a tsunami coming on shore. Destroy everything that is in reach.
Checked out the hostel and went to sleep. Took the taxi at 6:45 am and waited again for the plain. It did not take that long but it was delayed. I almost mist my connection. But I did not, I made it have some pictures from the plain. It was really small and bumpy.
I arrived at the hostel to early so I went to the Molokai museum.It was all about the Hanson disease population on the island. And the only sugar mill that was on the island. The mill is 100 years old and is restored to be new again 20 years ago. It was nice to see how sugar was grown en produced. I checked in Ilima (the owner) is really nice, it is an old lady that rents peaces of her house out to tourists. I have my own cottage what is really nice, I will post some pictures.
After the check in I went for some food but first I went to a macadamia nut farm. There I took a tour around the farm. Did you know you can eat macadamia raw? And did you know that the tree has fruits all year round? And that they are the hardest nut on the world?
I went for grocery and a slice of pizza. And drove back, the car I have is so nice. It is a dodge adventure. Now writing this story it is longer than I thought it would be. It is only two day's. Hope you have had fun to read it.
