We spent 2 days exploring the Kona area, and then we were off on a road trip to Volcano Village. Volcano Village is about an hour and a half drive from Kona. We spent about 6 hours getting there. The drive was amazing. There were so many beautiful places to stop and see along the way. We were on a mission to take it all in. Our 1st stop was to the local farmers market. This was by far one of the best farmers markets we have ever been to. We had some of the best fruit that we had ever had while staying at The Hawaiian Oasis, so we hit up the farmers market to pick up some more local favorites to stock up for the next two days of our adventures. I had my heart set on finding a nice Hawaiian man with a machete to crack open a coconut for me to drink from. Sure enough we found that man and I couldn't have been more excited. The coconut was gigantic. I'm pretty sure it weighed ten pounds. I carried it around all day like it was our baby. After drinking all of the coconut milk, we realized that we would not be able to get into the fruit from the small hole our straw fit in. This was a crisis. Where were we going to find another man with a machete? Needless to say after traveling 6 hrs. with Coco, when we arrived at Volcano mist cottage, Patrick used a hammer, screw driver a sharp knife and his muscles to break Coco into many pieces, she was delicious.
