Hilo

Wednesday 1 October

Hilo on the big island Hawaii

We did not book a tour as we once spend 2 weeks

holidays on this island and rented a car to explore.

Instead we took a ticket for the Hoppa-off.

a little bus where you get on and off at differents 

location throughout the day.

just before Richardson beach (black sand)

Turtle come ashore, I did not see one but

every one else did.

our ship

Lili'uokalani park

our first trip to the  fall I fell down a flight of stairs
did not brake anything but lot of gravel scratch.
(I went to the ship doctor for some antiseptic )

Rainbow falls

We went to visit the farmers market.
It was very interesting.

When we went to the Luau we ate some Poi
which is made with these taro

in some shop window on Hilo Bay front

map of the lave flow

just love this clock.

Statue of King Kamehameha

it look like a big ship has arrived behind ours.

going across to Coconut island

We are back at Rainbow Falls for a last trip.
I climbed on top of the fall, and then chicken out
and did not go to the edge.

the young people who were with me went right to the edge

From our ship we could see the name of the other ship.
It is huge.
