150) Big Island, Big Rain


I have been on the Big Island for a couple days. It is very beautiful, and there are many things to do, but this has been jeopardized by lots and lots of rain.




Yesterday I was stuck roadside for 8 hours while flooding claimed part of the road I needed to get back to the hostel. Streams that I assume where much smaller a few days ago have turned into brown wildly flowing rivers.










The last two days I have spent most of my time driving around on the west side of the island. It is much dryer and very pleasant due to a large rain shadow cast by the volcano.
