    Today we woke up got all packed up and brought all our bags down before 9 am. We left our bags checked in downstairs and took the bikes out in search of some fresh fruit. There were two farmer's markets that looked promising as we ventured out. The closer one only took 10 minutes to get to but after a quick look around we realized there wasn't much to see. We then decided to go to the further one and made the haul up a very long hill to find a much bigger, better market. As the sellers started breaking down their tents we quickly found some rambutans to satisfy our fresh fruit needs. We then got a nice pineapple drink and some delicious Pho French dip from an authentic Vietnamese food tent. As we sat enjoying our food a very kind man came up and gave William four free papayas that he said would be ready in two days. We then coasted back down to our hotel to find the rest of the Messner gang waiting. We piled all our luggage into the small rented sedan and took off towards the Ko Olina Marriott. In another 40 minutes we arrived at the beautiful hotel with perfect lagoons lined up along the coast. We ate a late lunch at Longboards and then watched the sunset before drifting off to sleep.Read more
