Today we decided to visit Maunaloa which is an old plantation town a few minutes drive past our turn off the highway. We found a General Store which sold basic food goods which included fresh meat, fruit and vegetables so it was a good find. I also managed to post a birthday card at the Post Office. There did not seem to be much else apart from the Gallery and Kite Shop which we will save for when Claire and Andrew are here. The Molokai Lodge is now closed along with the cinemas which it also owned. There was a little Catholic Church, St Vincent Ferrer, which claims to have Mass at 11am on Sundays and a school but that was it. The closure of the Lodge must have put a lot of people out of work here.
After lunch on the lanai we had a lazy afternoon and evening watching some of the Obama inauguration on TV. I thought the Hawaiians might have made more of it - maybe they did on the other islands but it was just another day here on sleepy Molokai.
