Hawaii travelogue day 9 Kailua-kona to Paris

hawaian landscape

Last hours in Hawaii

As our flight back to Honolulu is scheduled at 5pm, we take time to drive 40 miles to Waimea, a small town close to Mauna Kea volcano. Waimea offers a new vision of Big island, after the volcanic landscapes (south) and the beaches (west). The city is surrounded by meadows and ranches, we can feel the cowboy influence.
Several horse back rifing journeys are proposed but we are running out of time for that.

End of our hawaiian holidays

We drive back to Kailua Kona exploring the coast and notably Hapuna beach, ideal for swimming but without shadow.
Finally it's time to fly back to Honolulu and Paris...
