Toby and Andrea at the warm ponds in Pohoiki.
Friends and couchsurfers Toby and Andrea are visiting Hawaii for some summer fun before work, school, moving, etc gets in the way. They’re visiting from the mainland so I played tourist for part of the day. Yes, this is Andrea (aka Tall Andrea, Chula) from early blog posts.
Andrea and Toby not quite at the lava flow entry into the ocean. The trail is off-limits during the day so a trek in the evening will be in the future. That's a lot of steam blowing upwards.
This is stuff coming out of the vent, stuff burning in the lava flow and blowing westward.
Nothing like a little T & A to spice up the world!
Hope your friends are having a great time on the island!
