Day 5 - Sunday |
|
We decided to snorkel today since yesterday was a "snorkel-free" day.
We drove over to the old airport and hiked to what was suppose to be a
good spot. It was quite surgy so we abandoned the snorkel and
drove to the state park up the road. (Note: If you go to the old
Kona airport in the early morning you'll see mongoose eating their
morning cat food!) |

We then tried getting to Kona Coast State Park.
When we got to the road we saw that it was dirt, but thought "what the
heck, we will just drive slow". We actually drove most of the way
but bailed out when we thought we might take out the bottom of our
rental car! |
|
Given two failed attempts, we went back to Beach
69. Beach 69 is a great place to spend the day and it has decent
snorkeling to the right. |
 |
|
 |
We munched on cheese, deli meats, and crackers and
had a few beers. yum! |
|
We also both read some books on beach 69.
Dave read "The Reef" and Carroll read "Deception Point". |
 |
|
We left the beach around 4:00 and went to Costco
for some gas. (the cheapest place on the island) We bought
some chicken salads and a few more music CDs. Once back at the
Billfisher we did laundry, yuck, and had left over ribs and salad for
dinner. Tomorrow we head to Hilo! |
