Many years ago there was a great story teller hired by the hotel in Hana to entertain their guests. The legend goes that she began telling all the guests about a sacred place where there were seven pools, each containing a virtue. To attain divinity and acquire all seven virtues one had to go to the sacred pools and swim in each one successively. The story was such a success that the area is now called the 'Seven Sacred Pools' and most tourists that make the drive to Hana continue to swim in the pools (there are a lot more than seven pools though! I think James and I found them all :)
This is what I pictured Hawaii being all about. Hiking through rainforests to swim in remote pools with cascading waterfalls. It was a dream come true.
