There's something fishy about this build...

48$ to park and then I have to take a tram to the room.

But I'm here and I got a free upgrade on the rental car so that's nice. Hopefully will get to snorkel this evening.

Its 8:23am. If I were at home it is unlikely I would be out of bed.

This morning I have driven to the other side of the island. Done two “hikes” to see two of Hilo’s biggest draws. Kaumana caves and rainbow falls. Now I'm having a breakfast of fish.

Was asked if my fish should be rare. I said **** no because I cannot eat raw fish before noon even in Hawaii. The coffee though is

Also learned that the Hilo Spartans are not good. They are not bad. They are just intermediate

No hikey hikey. Scuba scuba.

Canceled. Swell is too strong.
Anyway if I had gone scuba would I have seen a humpback whale jump completely out of the water?!

Photo update 2:
Big tree!

Second picture of the big tree and if you look close you'll see a cultural event occurring: a homeless man being arrested.

Brave bird

Grumpy birds

Then I took a wrong turn and ended up in Japan. Unfortunately it was not the worst I got lost today:

Also saltwater guppies, some sort of jack, and barracuda

Next did a 3 mile hike to this random bay.

Great hike and when I got there tons of turtle and a humpback whale!!! (whale not included in photos)

Also blenny!

And of course how else how to unwind after a 3mile hike but do a suduko

Did you eat at that Cafe overlooking the tree? They've got great Loco Moco!

Nope
Ate at this really good cafe in downtown Hilo. The Booch Bar

We ate at a restaurant downtown but I forgot the name. I think it was pizza.

Booch Bar is the one about two blocks down from the farmers market on the corner across from the grocery store?

If you thought me getting lost and ending up in Japan was bad well prep yourself because this time I saw some bug scary yellow turns and somehow ended up on mars. The Martians called the place I was Mauna Kea which is significantly taller then mount Everest apparently.

Luckily I managed to find my way back to earth and found myself somewhere in Scotland
