Another beautiful day in Kona!
Our body clocks have almost adjusted and we are waking up on Hawaiian time not Australian time. Our 10.30am wake-ups are now back to 8.30am.
We headed to the pool and enjoyed our k's - a good start to the day. The rest of the day we spent relaxing at the Kona Canoe Club, Kope Lani and the Kona Inn - helped us cope with the heat and humidity :)

| A lovely surprise this morning, this beautiful hibiscus blossomed outside our unit - stunning! |
