Today was a leisurely island day. We had a big breakfast overlooking the man-made lagoon & then headed out for a driving tour to show mom & dad more of the local area.
(Mom & Dad were up early, so they did the 8am island orientation & learned all about the resort & island. Despite being new experts, they didn’t want to plan the rest of the week! What?? š)
We drove south, stopping at a gorgeous scenic overview, where unfortunately, a giant bee mistook me (Ariana) for a bright pink flower and stung me. OUCH!!! š©
We then went to our favorite organic Kona coffee farm, Mountain Thunder, and took a tour to learn how the grow, pick, process, & roast the coffee. The funniest part was watching the chickens scrape and peck at the ground!
We then drove through Kona town and headed back toward the hotel (with a quick grocery stop) since we were booked in for the hotel’s luau tonight!
Check out mom & dad learning to hula:
…and some more pics from the luau:
