Day 12 Kailua-Kona

Lazy vacation day, got a late start and went to lunch at On The Rocks, on the beach, with our toes in the sand. Had fish tacos and Larry had their "famous" Mai Tai. Then we walked through Kona on Ali'i Drive, a mile to the pier and a mile back. More wandering in shops and people watching. By then it was happy hour at our lunch spot so we stopped in again and Larry had a drink called a Hawaiian Rainbow that was pretty and good, I didn't get a picture until he had already drank some. A quick run to Walmart for cream and sodas and then back to the resort for the evening. We are enjoying the relaxed pace of staying somewhere for a whole week, not being in a hurry to cram in a lot of sights and activities. I haven't mentioned how gorgeous this resort is. The landscaping is lush with hibiscus, bougainvillea and of course Palm trees. The paths around the condos wind around and it is just a nice place to stroll around. There are two swimming pools, Larry got in the hot tub one night, but we aren't really into pool swimming. We do still need to get to a beach or two!Read more
