We took the boat over to the island in the bay. It is called Hawaii Island but we don't know why, since it is not in the middle of the pacific. The morning started with para-gliders flying off of the mountains and landing in town. Leslie heard later that one of them had to escape from his glider and use a parachute. Then we headed over to the island, it was only 10 euros for the both of us roundtrip. We enjoyed the trip and walked around the island. It is pretty small and it did not take a long. As we rounded the trail we saw some very dark clouds. Weighing our options, we decided that if it was going to rain we were better back on the mainland. We continued towards the ferry boat and just as we got there it started raining. On the trip back was in the rain and the driver took this opportunity to gun the engines as hard as he could. He came within a foot of the breakwater on the way out and just as close to a big ship once we were back in the marina. It was still raining when we arrived back on the mainland so we headed to the market. After buying a few items we saw little cat houses and a old church and graveyard. Then it was back to the pad to enjoy the liquids that we purchased at the market.
A bit cloudy in the morning
Out of the sky, pars-sails pop out
Dropping down fast
Four at a time
Landing in the middle of town
A helicopter was circling all day
I took the trash out and was baffled by all of these bananas
On the boat
Is that beer?
Out driver was very low key
Passing the big ships
Hawaii Island
Gotta take a call
Love the blue waters
We have landed
The beach was very rocky
But there were folks enjoying the sun
these rocks were massive, look in between them and you will see a guy standing on the center boulder
The water is so clear
The cliffs are so tall
An extraordinary place
The cactus like it here
Looking back to the mainland
Loosing the light as the clouds roll in
Here comes the rain
A tiny church
A boat turned into a hut
The sign says it all
Season is over so the cushions are going into storage
Gus the gull
A larger boat is also leaving due to the rain
It is coming down
Hot dog driving at its worst
Blue skies to our left
Pulling into the old town marina
Soom to be back on land
Another needlessly close encounter
Shopping and dropping
Tiny dried fishes
Are they good, we will never know
Many kinds to buy
Little houses for the cats
Cat #6 lives here
The cemetery
The gate was cool
The second bulding
Cat butt
