The lack of guidebook
might limit the amount of sights, but the drive and nature in-between s the main
sight anyway. I have chosen to only stay one place, but it is only a bit more
than an hour to the far side. As one island is a pointy volcano, the other flat,
I will shift in-between them from day to day, and make a day-tour to the third.
There is a list of the sights
below the maps.
