Last island for this trip: the Big Island, where everything is big.
There are big volcanoes (here, a view of Mauna Kea from the road that climbs Mauna Loa)...
...big tastes (like this passionfruit)...
...big valleys, like beautiful Waipio Valley, which we descended on the sole, 25-degree-grade road to the valley floor for a tour by horseback...
...and, finally (for the day, at least), big falls. I didn't get a good picture of the staggering Hi'ilawe Falls into Waipio Valley because there was so much haze down there. But on the way back to Hilo, we also stopped to see 'Akaka Falls, pictured here.
Not bad for one day!
