| Breakfast - yogurt parfait. Surprise of the morning was two whales appearing just outside the wave break. Sadly, two boats also saw the water spouts and ran over to that spot. We did get to see a double tail as the whales dove deep to avoid the not very smart boats and their owners. |
Our hectic and exhausting day on Saturday led to our day of rest. We thought about going to the pool but there was quite a crowd including lots of kids so instead we took a short tour of a local coffee grower's farm, Mountain Thunder Coffee farm. This is world famous hand picked Kona coffee.

 |
| Whole coffee berry and 2 coffee beans inside. |
 |
| This is the start of the growing season so this bush needs to have the old canes removed to it bushes out and shades the coffee beans during the growth season. |
 |
| A banana tree with a flower. Never saw that before. |
 |
| Farm cat to keep down the rodents. |
 |
| All the beans have to be removed from the berries, dried, sorted through screens then roasted. All at an industrial size level. |
 |
| Local free range chickens are everywhere in Hawaii. |
