We decided to stop at Akaka falls as the rain would swell the rivers even more. We waited at the parking lot in the car for the rain to let up a bit but it didn't. We ended up go out in our bathing suits and jackets. We were not disappointing even though we got soaked.

The falls at a distance when entering the park. Unfortunately the falls was creating so much mist that it was hard to get a good shot up close.

The rain continued all the way to Hilo. This gave us the true feel for Hilo as it rains most of the time here. We spent the night in an old hotel run by a Hawaiian family. They had a restaurant that was very popular with the locals. The next morning we caught our flight to Honolulu.
