December 31, 2000 - Sunday (New Years Eve)
 |
| Halape - Volcanoe National Park (Big Island), Hawaii |
Today is the first and only "free" day we had since we started our hike. The day started with the standard oatmeal breakfast and I went exploring after that. The shoreline was pretty much like Apua, where volcanic rocks scattered about volcanic sands. There were also freshwater pools with endangered shrimps, Tikki poles, and coral reefs.
I went into the water this time and saw a variety of fish and coral in the shallow lagoon right beside our camp. Pa-Ka-Te, Hassan, Lisa, Maria, and Chris (a weird Army captain) all joined me in the water. We swam for a while until it got too cold for me and I got out of the water and dried off.
We had another curry dinner with some nice cheesecake made by Lisa. A few hours later after watching the stars, Dave brought out some fireworks and shot them off a rock right by the campfire. It was actually a wonderful experience to be spending New Years Eve out in the middle of the Pacific.
