To the Big Island

This is the cottage that we stayed for the rest of our vacation. "Adorable" keeps coming to mind, but I don't think that really fits. You can tell the the owners really love this little house. They are a very pleasant couple. I had spoken with each of them in the planning/scheduling process.
We (again) have lots and lots of pictures of the grounds and flowers. There are lemon, lime and grapefruit trees. Steve had grapefruit every morning with breakfast. There are also banana trees, but it looks like they won't be in season until later in November. At least from the journal entries that we read from previous visitors. So many beautiful flowers that I just don't know the names of. Snorkel gear and beach towels were available to us; which we used later in the week. Thanks to Tom and Missy.




Our first day, we pretty much took it easy. We went back into town after moving in. We picked up a few groceries for breakfast and to be able to pack lunch for day trips. And of course lots of water.
