There is no pier in Kona – Big Hawai. We were tendering from the ship to the coast on the small boats…
Kona or Kailua is a nice town with a nice promenade along the cost i some historical places to visit on a walk including king Kamehameha retreat just close to the landing.
Well, I tried to use my usual trick – to go to the public library and to use there free internet. Yes I found it – bus they ask me to get a libryary card first for 10 USD – smart isn’ it?
The other solution is internet cafe charging 2,30 USD per 15 minutes – still less then on the ship!
I took with other people a tour by taxi (27 USD pp) along the picturesque coast to the place where famous Capitan James Cook died. This is form one of those significant places like Ujiji or Stait of Magellan… Taxi took us to the nice bay and then – unpleasant surprise!
-Can you see the white obelisque on the other side of the bay? -This is the place where they killed Cpt Cook! – No, there is no road access to this place – you must use the kayak to go there! There were kayaks available, but sorry – the taxi will not wait… So I took only the picture of he monument from the distance…
