The final act

Last day or at least the last day we could do anything. We have a 6:13, yes it is an odd time, flight out in the morning. So we are getting our stuff together early this evening.

I did however manage to go out and do some shooting of the boring stuff Marjan did not want to stop the car for. Firstly I drove up towards Waikoloa and stopped a few times. The mountains in these are the Kohala Mountains. Yes it is another volcano, the oldest on the island.

Waikoloa village is just visible in the foreground

I then took the road along the Kohala. This side is dry the other is wet jungle.

Got back to the resort about eight. Our check out was not till twelve so we lazed by the pool, reading and swimming and people watching.

We then went to Hapuna Beach. It is rated by someone, can't remember who now, as among the top 10 US beaches. It was nice, a little wavy for Marjan but we did swim. And picnicked on the beach, under a tree where we managed to get some shade. We later realised there were quite a few mice, obviously because visitors throw their leftovers and peels among the rocks. We moved a little away from the rocks and the mice were  no bother. The beach was nice, but not top 10 Victorian let alone Australian beaches.

Left after we were suitably sunburnt and checked into our close to the aiport hotel. We booked this because we did not fancy a trip across the island for a  6:13 flight. As it turned out it is about the same distance to the airport as the Marriott but we had already booked it so here we are with another partial water view.

See you all soon!
