Biking in Lahaina
Sunday, January 15, 2006

What better way to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon than exploring the old town of Lahaina by bicycle?

We visited many of the tourist sites, including a cementery where some Hawaiian Royals (Ali`is) are buried, plus stopped at a beach behind the Lahaina Shores resort and finished the ride with Margaritas, Nachos and beer at Compadres Restaurant at the Lahaina Cannery Mall.

This ride was very easy, about 6 miles total, all flat roads and the slow traffic of Front Street in Lahaina presented no problems.

Following are a few pictures of the ride...

Oma and I enjoyed the many pictures of Lahaina -- makes us want to know more about it. Looks like the perfect place to tour on a bicycle.
