Thirteen of us hired a boat and captain to take us partway around the island and anchor in the cove, at the entry to the Hakaui Valley. There is a small village there, that we walk through, bought some mangoes & bananas from the lady below, right off her  trees and continues to hike into the depths of the valley. As Bob Meyer said in his post, at any time you felt like a prehistoric animal could go dashing by. Time does appear to have stood still here, except I heard Reggae music coming from one cottage and saw the solar panel operated Phone Booth below. The fruit lady's home was so well manicured, not a leaf was even lying anywhere on her immaculate kept pathways. We also got fresh squeezed pineapple juice from her and used her restroom, which was an outer building, complete with parer and running water, just no doors on the stales - but wait to you see the view!
