Honolulu - Part 2

Had the most amazing run last night in the dark. I ended up on top of a volcanic crater with a spectacular view of the lights of the city (Phil rekons its the 6th largest in the US!) and then had to run through an eerily empty US air force bace with rows and rows of jeeps parked up in order to get out! The running felt awesome.

This morning I rode a 70km loop of this end of the island, taking in the most spectacular rainforest I have ever seen. Riding felt great, lots of power and not much heart rate :-) Amazing how much fluid and salt you lose, not to mention the power of the sun! If doesn't feel too hot in the breeze but that is deceptive!

'Aloha' means 'hello' and 'Mahalo' is 'thank you'. Interestingly, the 2 words are close to being an anagram of each other and they both lend their names to many things, including gas (petrol) stations!

Thats all for now, I'm going offline to read your emails and then for a swim, easy 30 min

Dunstan out.
