Ok...only on Day 8??? I've been slacking!!! We spent the day on the Kona side of the Big Island.
On the tender going ashore

The boat awaiting our return

This monument/shrine was welcoming us at the landing







Next was the old painted church that was moved from the beach at Honaunau up the hill to its current resting spot...Must have been quite a spectacle as it as moved by rolling it over logs up the hill!



And what old church would be complete without a graveyard?

Honaunau Bay and the City of Refuge in the distance











This turtle came out of the water and walked right up to Karen!!!











Tiki or???????


I put it back!!!

What a peaceful place!!!



Do we have to leave?!


We didn't find ou little grass shack...but we found this!


Wait! Is that a Humuhumunukunukuapuaa swimming bye in the surf?


With thse out front, we had to go in this antique shop!


Interesting stuff inside!

All this adventure made us...guess what? That's right! Thirsty!!!


Off on another adventure into the "lava zone"






Thirsty again!!!!






Just can't get away from Tiki Farm!!!!



And a nice dinner on board that evening


What's wrong wit this cake??!!!!

And to all a good night!
