Mt Mauna Kea and Mt Mauna Loa

Up at the crack of dawn and off to Mt Mauna Loa on which there is a meteorological station.










Then off to Mt Mauna Kea and the observatories. It was like driving up to a SMERSH lair in a James Bond film.
















Exhausted. Afternoon by the tide pools. Couple of blue whales crept into the pools.



Honaunau and the most southern point in the USA

Off down the coast and away from our rainy end of the Island. Stopped at Honaunau National Park to go snorkelling.













Visited the most southern tip of the USA.
