Helicopter!

Day 7

Today we went down to the south side of the island. We stopped by the water fall they used in fantasy island and we thought it was pretty impressive....... until we went on the helicopter ride. Wow! First time in a chopper and it was awesome. If I ever start flying again its going to be in one of those. We could fly right into a canyon up to a cliff or water fall and just hover there. Melissa and I were sitting in front and I must say we were pretty nervous more than once. We broke all the airplane rules. The island was amazing and we were able to see it all.

Then we drove down see the spouting horn and Pui Po beach. The spouting horn was pretty cool. Its a tube in the lava that fills with water as the waves come it and then the water shoots out a hole upward. There are a few of them on the islands, but this one is unique because there are actually two holes. Air rushes out the small one and sounds like a horn. We didn't think the beach was anything speacial. Kind of spoiled on the north shore I guess.

Finally, we ate the ever famous Puka Dog. Its a big polish hot dog in bread that they have bored a hole out of to accomodate the dog. then then shoot spicy halepeno, with mango, banana, coconut, or papaya relish, and some other yummy stuff in the bread along side the dog. Really is a good hot dog. Melissa says its the best she has ever had in her life!
