A note about parking

(with a lower case p)

Driving seems like such a waste here. What better way to take in a tropical island than on bike or foot? There are no parking meters here and not much traffic, so driving might seem ideal. Consider the costs of everything involved with a car. Gas, insurance, maintenance, pollution, space, noise and the list goes on. Used cars are expensive with the lower price tags at around $4,000. My bike costs $250.

You can rent a car, scooter or taxi if you want to take a longer trip perhaps to the Volcano. But until then, why not get a bike?
