HNL to Hilo
August 30, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
When I arrived in Hilo, I met up with my peeps who had already arrived from Australia. They'd rented a condo in the Lagoon Center, which overlooks many State and County offices. We were on the 7th floor, facing west, with a view of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea--only they were shy and hid behind clouds! The building backed onto a State Recreational Area, popular with fishermen and ducks.Read more
Traveler The condo complex had a swimming pool, which was also available for use by the nonprofits who rented offices on the first two floors. Most of the condos are occupied by retired couples, judging by folks I saw coming and going.

Traveler Looking towards Mauna Loa, the largest volcano on Earth by land area, and Mauna Kea, the tallest volcano on Earth from sea floor to summit.

Traveler Mauna = mountain; Loa = long; Kea = white (for the snow that falls there in winter).
