Explore the Hawaiian Islands. Find great places off the beaten track. We're starting with the island of Oahu so if that's where you are, please check in. And I'd love to hear about your favorite places. Some of the stories tend to be a little dark, but I think that adds to the ambiance - and a lot of the history is fascinating. Sites are from my new ebook Explore Lost Oahu, Places of Power, History and Mystery. So do join me and start exploring.

Spent the weekend on the Big Island and researched some sites for the next Exploring book - "Exploring the Lost Big Island of Hawaii." We visited Halemaumau Crater to see the new rising fiery lava lake. Wow! Make sure you go to see #Halemaumau at #HawaiiVolcanoesNationalPark!
We ate Thai food first in Hilo and then drove up - the drive was quick, just over 30 minutes. By 7pm cars were leaving Volcanoes National Park which was great as it meant that we found parking at #JaggarMuseum. It was a five minute walk to the crater overlook. Freezing cold. Icy up there in the mountains. But totally worth the effort - the lava lake was magical, moving and changing shape, shimmering, sending up bursts of flames and rocks. We could hear accents and languages from all over the world as watchers gathered at the overlook. The main expression: Oooh! Oh! Look! Wow!
