Day Off - Big Island
Monday, May 29, 2006
Sleep in this morning after a late night (hey, we're on vacation!). Get a late start on heading south to see the volcano...
After Starbucks, we head south for a few hours. Make a quick detour stopping at South Point, the southernmost place in the USA (not Key West as most people think). Beautiful views here.
Finally make it to the Volcanoes National Park, where we take in the Kilhuea Caldera and the Chain of Craters Road.
We head back along the east side of the island, stopping in Volcano and then Hilo, before heading back to the hotel via Waimea. All in all, we are gone 9.5 hours and spent 7 of those hours driving. Hey it really is a BIG island...
Stop to just catch the sunset, before heading back to the room for showers before dinner.
Decide to try Roy's for dinner, even though it's a chain, as we had great food at the one in Kauai. Roy's doesn't disappoint, everything is great...
