Today was a very busy day with lots of driving. We started out just about 7am and drove to the Hilo (east) side of the island. The first stop was Akaka Falls.
Then we stopped in Hilo for brunch at Ken's House of Pancakes. Yummy food. As you can see Alex was loving the hot chocolate.
After Ken's we headed out to Kilauea. We didn't see any active lava flows but the view was amazing. There were craters, steam vents and old lava flows that were amazing.
Some of us took naps in between stops.
We took a long drive on a curvy one lane road to take a short hike to see... well not much. We could have skipped this drive. It's a "you had to be there moment".
We hiked a lava tube.
We stopped at a black sand beach and saw a few sea turtles (Honu) sunning themselves.
The final stop was at the
Kona Brewery for pizza and beer. Deliciouso!
