26 June, Kona, Big Island, Hawaii

Very limited WiFi access at the moment. Spending today in Kona, a very beautiful spot. Yesterday we were in Hilo which we found to be pretty shabby. Last night at about 10 pm the ship sailed very close to the shore so that we could see the lava from the active volcano Kilauea pour into the sea. Quite  a spectacle. Tonight we sail to Kaua'i, the most beautiful of the Hawaiian islands. We've booked a day tour around the island there.
