Road to Hana (part 2)



Here's a video showing some of the beauty, curves and one lane bridges to be found on the Hana Highway. Take note of the size of the dump trucks seen in the video. The only part of the drive that truly scared us was when we happened across one on a one lane bridge. We were half way across when one came roaring onto the bridge. The 'yield to things bigger than you' paradigm kicked in and Eric threw it into reverse to get out of it's way. We're fairly sure he never even slowed down, and probably was laughing the whole time at the terrified tourists in front of him.

Thankfully the road wasn't as bad as some people made it seem. Most, but not all, of the one lane bridges were easy since you could see the other side of it pretty well. Most of the road was plenty wide also (unlike past Hana, but that's another story) so all in all it was a pleasantly curvy drive.
