Two more days in paradise

We are enjoying every morning waking and realizing we are still here in Kona. The weather has been clear and sunny. We have driven all over this side of the island in our rental car and yet to fill the gas tank. I tried to update some of the pictures for everyone to get an idea of what we've been up to. The past few days we have been kayaking like crazy. We rented a double sit on top sea kayak for $45 for the day, snorkel and fins included. We tied it to the roof and drove up the coast to Captain Cooks Bay. This is were the Captain first landed in Hawaii and then unfortunately got eaten by the natives. The bay was amazing, more than we could of dreamed of. The water was aquamarine and full of sea life. On our paddle to the coral reef we passes through a spinner dolphin habitat. They loved to play with the kayaks and swim in front or next to. I was so in awe I couldn't even take a picture, just trying to take it it in my mind.
The other day we spotted a sea turtle right off shore at a Beach coming up for air,there is so much sea life everywhere. Holualoa is a small artist community in the hillside of Kona. It is definitely a place we would choose to move to in the future. Now we have an idea of the desirable spots on the island. Tonight Matt's' friend Ryan is flying over from another island for a few nights.It should be fun. We leave for New Zealand Friday night. Our next blog will be from Kiwi land. Wish us luck. Write often.
