Took a day off to rest up from our vacation. We'd been on a dinner cruise the night before and though I'd like to say the whales came up to the boat to beg for table scraps, they in fact stayed about a half-mile away and were not posing for photos in the fading light. Spectacular nonetheless. The food was forgettable and after a nice chat with some folks from Idaho, we returned to the hotel for an overdue sleep-in.
Following a nice, leisurely breakfast at Splash's across the road, we took a stroll along the sea-front before returning to the hotel for more resting. Paul shocked the tour guide by revealing that it was 107F colder at home than it was here (-27 vs +80). He couldn't imagine it. Windchill or not.
Off to the last Tour function tonight, a "King's Feast" before shuttling to the Kona airport tomorrow to pick up a rental car and begin the unstructured part of our visit.
