HAWAII

Vancouver's Chinatown displays unusual colours and buildings. The Sun Yat Sen Chinese Garden contained this beautiful silkscreen: amazing craft!
The garden revealed some attractive vistas

After Vancouver, we spent 2 weeks in the Hawaiian island of Maui. This is the garden outside the apartment we rented.

Flowers and trees abound on this volcanic island


We drove to where the last lava flow ran into the ocean. Very rough underfoot!

The other side of Maui contains a beautiful arboretum









In the town of Lahaina, the 3rd biggest Banyan tree in the world dominates the centre





Of course we could not leave without going to a traditional Luau
