Paddling & Snorkling

Before our activity today we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant called Kai, a beautiful outdoor experience.  Fresh air combined with good food and some sun, made for a good eating experience. 
    Our main activity today consisted of Kayaking for a couple of miles in the open sea, in an effort to reach a landing called "Captain Cooks monument" for the best snorkling experience on the big island of Hawaii.  Oh, what a place for snorkling it turned out to be.   It was as if we were snorkling in an aquarium with a variety of colored fish.  We regret not having a water proof camera for underwater pictures, but the best way to describe it would be to say it was like a scene from the movie Finding Nemo.  About two miles each way of paddling and the snorkling did not give us much time to do much else except to visit a coffee plantation/farm on the way back to our hotel.  A good ending to a short stay in an island with much left to be explored. 
We hope to be back someday to see so much more that this beautiful island has to offer. 
Until them Mahalo for such good memories and not so good weather ;-) Hopefully sunnier days next time. 

Alooooha!
