There is cool new sign in downtown Kona
adjoining the ABC store
across the street from the Kailua Pier.
Turns out Holland America's Island Princess
was in the harbor when we arrived.
It was on a 16 day round trip of the
Hawaiian Islands from Los Angeles.
The following day, the Holland America's Koningsdam
was in port as part of 21 day trip
from Vancouver to San Diego.
And if it's Wednesday, I wonder who this is?
The Spirit of America, of course.
At the start of our trip, Kona was experiencing larger high tides
than we had seen before. The video above shows the wave crashing
on the break wall (bottom left) which is about 5 feet
in front of our lanai!
Enjoying a Bloody Mary and a great view
at the Fish Hopper.
Another creation by
the mysterious rock artist of Kona.
This one is not X-rated
...I don't think.
Another great sunset,
but no green flash unfortunately!
Aloha!
