Lesson learned. Do some research before travelling.

I'll have to check that out. Sounds good.

Looks like we might do the trip to Hana again since we got a bit of a late start and missed some stuff the daughters wanted to see. Not sure if the wife would care for it though since she was not very fond of all the twisty turns involved. One bit of advice I would give for anybody planning to come here and visit Hana is might be best to do it with an overnight stay there. Instead of doing the return trip the same way, we ended up taking the highway 31 which was a bit hairy in some spots but some fantastic views. Pretty amazing how the landscape changes from dense tropical rainforest to some pretty arid conditions in such a short distance.
