STRUTH – New meaning for holiday ‘escape’

STRUTH !   

IN his continuing search for the more weird, wacky and wondrous in the world of travel, David Ellis says fellow travel writer and publisher of OzBabyBoomers, John Rozentals snapped this somewhat confronting welcome to Hawaii’s Big Island Hawaii on a visit there earlier this month.

John was taking part in a “Kohala Waterfalls Adventure” run by Hawaii Forest & Trails, and to his delight, and the relief of others along for the spectacular walk, guide Derek Stuart assured them “we haven’t lost anyone yet… to bulls, cattle, wild dogs or hunters.”

You’ll be able to read John’s account of the six-hour walk through the rugged country, that was once the domain of the Big Island’s famous Paniolo cowboys, on www.ozbabyboomers.com.au soon.

And if you’re heading to the Big Island and think a good walk would do you good, check-out www.hawaii-forest.com to enquire about joining one of their tours. Just be prepared in case it involves a sudden bit of running.
