Hawaii (island), USA - 2013

This was our second trip to Hawaii (state) and this time we visited Hawaii (island), also called the "Big Island". Three things that stayed in our mind once we were done with our trip - Volcano, Coffee and Cookies :) I learned a lot about volcanoes just by driving around active and dormant volcanoes. Kilauea volcano is the one that's active now. Pictures -

Punalu'u Bake Shop - at the southern most point of the USA. Malasada's were so good here.

Kīlauea Iki Trail - View of Pu`u Pua`i cinder and spatter cone - Still fuming!
