on the BIG island of hawaii..
05.14.2008
Well we made it to the big island.
Our plane arrived in Hilo and we boarded a bus for a tour of the island. The highlight of the tour was definitely the volcanoes (even if they were just steaming and not spewing lava).
We had some time to ourselves after the tour and then had another tour dinner (buffet). After dinner we went for a walk around Kona (where our hotel was) and even though Kona's on the "dry" side of the island we got caught in a little rain shower.
On our second day on the big island of hawaii we took a shuttle to a good snorkelling beach and had even better snorkelling than in oahu (there were even green sea turtles!). After a quick shower and change of clothes we hit the shops and ended up at 'Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.' for dinner (yum!).
Sadly this is our last day on the big island and tomorrow we have another early start as we head off to Maui.
