Horses and Kona Side

 


Our second day was spent on the Kona side--including a beautiful drive over the highway between Moana Loa and Moan Kea volcanoes--saddle road to Daniel K Inouye Highway.  The most recent Moana Loa post-Thanksgiving 2022 eruption cause lava flows to approach within a mile of the highway, but we did not stop to explore.  We were on our way the the Ocean Rider seahorse facility for a tour, and where Laura had a chance to hold a sea horse in her fingers.  It's over a 2-hour ride one way.  Feral goats along the roadway make driving interesting.

After the sea horse session, we went north to King Kamehameha Hotel for lunch.  Afterwards, we cut the trip short because Laura wasn't feeling very well.  

Once back, and after a little rest, Laura explored the lovely tidepools just across the street.
