Reggae-fest Kona side

On Saturday we went to a Reggae Festival in Kona. We teamed up with the two managers here, Heidi and Briana:

Their car turtle made the trip admirably. On the way there we saw 11 waterfalls. Many were a result of the heavy rains. The water cascaded off the cliff right onto the road.









We got there early and headed to the beach. We chilled and explored the little tidal pools.





Kona is HOT and DRY. It was really nice to dry out after the wet and soggy weather. The concert was at the old Kona airport, and we were all out on the tarmac. The music was good, the vendors were all local mostly selling local crafts and foods. We tried pork teriyaki and pork lau lau the former rocked, the latter rocked less... Here are a bunch of the kids from our hostel on the tarmac.

The shave ice was refreshing tho...

We got back very late and exhausted. On Sunday we slept in, chilled out, and recuperated.
