hang10tiki next I hope he works on that face!

MaukaHale that hotel for the Kona side and another one for the Hilo side. The 2 hour drive back and forth is too hard so splitting the time is a good idea. You'll see in the rest of my photos.

====================

I just finished posting and accidentally erased all of my post. I'm starting over again.

Day two continued with a 1 mile trip to a new shopping area that wasn't there on our last trip 12 years ago.

You can imagine our surprise to find this huge tiki art gallery.

Not only that the owner is the person to start the first annual Tiki Festival with all of our friends art!

So after a few photos

outside we ventured in and

we found Kozy there and had a great visit.

We found the art of Big Toe,

Robert Jimenez and

Rober Jimenez in a second room.

Then a wall of little lost tiki Ken Ruzic. Just a WOW all around.

When we left him we first used a 2 for 1 coupon and road on 9 4D rides. That saved us $20/ They were great and the best one was Penguin Express because it also had comedy. We both had a great time with these bumpy rides.

Then we went to the Tommy Bahama store and I found a shot glass with a gold peanut mug on it for $8. When we bought it they gave us a coupon to use in the restaurant upstairs.

Time for a late lunch with a beautiful view

over the tops of all the trees.

Dan's just so cute.

We used the coupon on a $19.50 coconut shrimp appetizer.

I fell in love with the crab salad. So for the next three days we asked for a coupon and took it upstairs for a late lunch. We just have a nut bar for dinner, that's our routine.

Kozy not only has a tiki gallery each night he puts on his master magician show.

His show is jaw dropping and fun.

It is in the gallery and you are allowed to bring your own drinks. He supplies cold water which was just what we wanted.

The magic is up close and personal and couldn't be better.

I had the honor of being in a small part of his show.

After a long and over the top fun day we went back to the hotel for the night. Cheers, Wendy

PS watch the posts on fb for updates on the Tiki Festival by these artists. We were sad to have just missed the event.
