We had an OK meal at Pizza Hut and a icky meal at Taco Bell. However the breakfast at our hotel had a magnificent view. Before breakfast Dan said he was itching to death. I checked his back and he had a big bite and it looked infected. So we got in the car which was parked in paradise and drove here. We got in line with all the locals needing help. The weather is changing and a storm is on the way. The clinic staff were fast and efficient. The doctor wiped away the pus and then it began to drain lymph fluid. Typical toxic spider bite. Bandaged and sent to a pharmacy. This is a typical vacation experience for us. Two antibiotics were prescribed and while we waited we looked around Wallgreens. A fun find. Dan confessed to sitting on our balcony without a shirt on. No insect repellent either but that might not ward off a spider. We drove to the Volcano National Park. It cost $25 to enter. We decided that we had seen enough lava already and the money would work better on lunch. We had seen this place on the way through the town of Volcano so we went back. The front door doesn't do the insides justice. We were sat down right away. I didn't know these Anthuriums come in so many colors. The view out the window was another perfect jungle. The room really did look like a lodge. This Portobello mushroom sandwich $13 was the best meal of our entire time in Hilo. Dan had curried rice that was as good for him as mine was for me. We highly recommend this place. After lunch we walked around the ground to photograph plants. I collect photos for doing my black velvet paintings. Now it's time to head on the road back North. Cheers, Wendy

Wow our trip to the Big Island of Hawaii is nearing the end. We are not going to make it to all the places but that's OK we have seen so many new ones that are just as special.

Day 9 of 10.

I forgot to mention that breakfast was also included with our second hotel. It was just a fine ordinary breakfast. It is really hard to find good food on the Hilo side of the island. We had an OK meal at Pizza Hut and a icky meal at Taco Bell. However the breakfast at our hotel had a magnificent view.

Before breakfast Dan said he was itching to death. I checked his back and he had a big bite and it looked infected. So we got in the car which was parked in paradise and drove
