Today (26.7.) we checked out from Royal
Kona resort and drove to Hawaii volcanoes national park. On the way,
we stopped by and had a little walk around Pu'Uhonua O Honaunau
National Historic park. Quite nice place, but we got irritated of all
the “don't do this and that” signs.
At the Volcano park we did a
6.4km/4mil/2h walk around a volcano and saw some really cool stuff.
No magma action, but we did walk on top of solidified magma lake! We
also check out a lava tube which is kind of a tunnel created by lava
flows. Very impressive nature there. Some parts of the scenery when
driving to the volcano reminded me of mix of Lapland, New Zealand and
Madeira. If you come to Big Island, you definitely should check this
place out.
At the moment we are in a nice hostel
called Wild Ginger Inn in Hilo. We got the last room($106) but the
place is nice enough. We might be spending two nights here, but so
far we booked only one. Let's see what we end up doing. All we have
planned is to have an evening and night dive with Mantarays in Kona
next wednesday so we have about a week to spend around the Big Island
before that.
