Chill day

Tuesday is a planned chill day seeing we need to finish up some food and drinks and see what life is like at the condo. Folks were back at the salt pool at the crack of sun (6:30) hooting and hollering in the waves but we did manage to get back to sleep for a bit. Once up we enjoyed our smoothie breakfast and coffee and watched the big waves.

Do you know how hard it is to catch a wave on a sunny day with a timer?

better try manual

While relaxing on the lanai eating tuna croissants, we watched the landscaping fellows next door climb the palms and trim them all and cut baby coconuts off.

All one needs is an iPad, a cold beer and this view

Seeing the waves were still high we ventured to the salt water pool and tide pool.

right after snapping this I was doused with a wave lol

Swimming and napping for S, I tried but they started trimming trees, vacuuming our entry way etc so that ended that plan lol so I toured the grounds for flower pics

not sure why footwear was needed but this is the extent of his swimming 

lots of hibiscus colors

this one is a mystery

bird of paradise (L) and ginger (R)

Needing to take the Jeep for a rip, we loaded up and headed down to see the big banyan tree. This led us to walking the “strip” before realizing it was time to watch the sunset.

open top view

look at the size of this tree!! see me way below?

the prince and his tree

Look at the heart shrub outside Mokuaikaua Church

I love the stone walls of the church and courtyard and look as those windows, they are so big they just turn to open. The church was built with not one nail!!

Time was running out so we aimed to try and get to a beach quick. North seemed best option and low and behold we arrived at  the Old Kona airstrip. Sunset was amazing as usual.

There is a pretty garden I quickly snapped a picture of jasmine before we headed back to the condo.

Even though it was after 6 when we got back, the skies were still pretty here.
