The Big Island - Kona

We didn’t have an excursion planned for our visit to Kona but our guide from the volcano bike ride had told us that we could hire snorkelling gear very easily. Lots of multi-coloured fish and although we didn’t see any turtles in the water, there was one on the rocks.

After snorkelling for about an hour we headed back into Kona. We were a bit peckish so we thought we would have a bit to eat. Peter wanted Mexican and we found “Pancho and Leftys”.

Peter’s light lunch! Before.

After!

Didn’t have a meal that night, too full.

There are beautiful, big banyan trees all over the islands.

Kona is the only port where the ship doesn’t tie up. So we had a chance to get a photo from the shore.

There are an incredible number of Aussies on the cruise, they’re everywhere, almost rivalling those from the US. There is a couple from Palmerston in Canberra. The strong Aussie dollar is  having an affect.
