Royal Sea Cliff condo
18 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We made it in around 1030pm with a 90 minute wait for a car rental as only 2 people were working but two planes unloaded at the same time. This we slept in till 7am (9am Vancouver time) then got up packed up and went to Kailua (old airport) beach. Aurora had fun in the tide pools and daddy got a nap on the lava rock in the sun. We just picked up our first spam musubi for snack time on the lanai. Aurora fell asleep in the car on the way home after picking out all the veggies she needs for the week from shop and save ( part of the foodland group grocery group)En savoir plus

We found a nice restaurant here, Magic Sands Grill. Next to the beach where all the families were swimming and boogie boarding. We had ulu fries (breadfruit). fish and chips and fish tacos for dinner. Aurora is a little afraid of how noisy the ocean is today.En savoir plus

Randys huli huli chicken time
19 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
After spending a perfect beach day at Mau'umae we drove with a mission in mind and made it to Randy's with 5 min before closing. And if we missed them today that's it till December! Their huli huli chicken and ribs combo is pit trailer smoked and bbqed at an elevation of 1000 feet which gives it that distinct flavour. They use liquid aloha in the marinade I am sure!En savoir plus

Lets go to the pool and see the sunset!
19 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Well we had a superb meal from Randy's Huli Huli chicken but as the sun dipped down in the western sky, Aurora told us to put away our food as we needed to get to the pool to do some swimming and watch the sunset. So we did. Shes become an avid leaper off the side of the pool but you have to be ready with a moment's notice to catch her!En savoir plus

Da Poke Shack
20 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
We visited a farmer's market this morning to grab some Hawaii fruit. Starfruit. Tangors. Papaya. Avocados. And cookies. Oatmeal chocolate chip. On the way back we stopped for poke. Thankfully just before it got busy! Aurora preferred her poke fed directly over the shoulder.En savoir plus

After the farm market visit we packed up and went to "A bay" as its short form is known. Aurora swam in her donut most of the time. Jess wandered down the beach and found turtles swimming about and get some underwater footage of tropical fish with the gopro.En savoir plus

Hapuna Beach

One of the big beaches. With big waves. It was a calm day so only 3 foot rollers. Aurora put on the donut and a life jacket and hit the water like a champ.

Hookena beach
23 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We headed south on the Hawaii belt road. Stopping first for swimming and snorkeling at Hookena beach. It's a beach at the bottom of a winding track road that zigzags down from 1500 feet to sea level. One road in and one road out. The beach was probably the most scenic for all around landscape. Broad cliffs on one side and a bay with jagged rocks on either side. And a serene black sand beach in the middle.En savoir plus

Punalu'u Bake shop
23 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
The most southern bakery in the USA! And dang it smelled good when we pulled in and opened the car doors. All the travel guides said stop here for sweet goodness. And it was. We got chocolate filled donuts (Malasadas) and a Bismarck and some bread pudding. Cinnamon buns were sold out. Have to come back.
They have max weight allowed signs on their plastic chairs. Seems some people have come back too often.En savoir plus

Kilauea crater -walk in to see the lava
23 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
We checked in at Kilauea Lodge and then found some dinner at Lava Rock cafe. Really good home made meals there. Aurora had mac and cheese. And did not want to share with daddy. Then we drove to the south side of the crater and hiked a couple miles on Devastation trail into the view point. We could see the lava fountain on the North side and the crater lake was all fissured with lava cracks. Aurora noted it was very pretty. And also that she was not tired of walking because we pushed or carried her the whole way. She fell asleep on the way out. Right after moon riseEn savoir plus

We spent a little time walking the Fern forests around Kilauea and went into the Thurston lava tube. A previous location where lava flowed from the caldera down the mountain.

There is a zoo here that has a bunch of wild animals that shouldn't be in cages. The Siberian tigers really wanted to eat the donkeys.

24 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
A quick visit to the farmers market here before Jess found a super restaurant with an open air patio and some really good food. Aurora stuck with pasta and tomato sauce but it was nice homemade salt less sauce. Really good!En savoir plus

Hilo rainstorm off the balcony
24 novembre 2021, États Unis ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
Some photos from our room balcony at the Hilo Hawaii Hotel overlooking the bay. I would imagine this hotel in the 70s was the go-to for Hawaiian hot spots. Hilo seems trapped in a time warp. Still holding some sense of regality but now scuffed by years gone by.En savoir plus

Kens House of Pancakes

An early breakfast at Ken's. It's the quintessential diner in Hilo. I had the Sumo Saimin (it takes two hands to carry the bowl from the kitchen). Almost got through the whole bowl with a little help from Jess and Aurora.En savoir plus
