Hawaii Part 12 - Waimea

We have come to our final full day on The Big Island. We fly out this evening at 8:30 pm. We woke up early and had the last of our farm fresh fruit for breakfast. We packed up the car and took a final shower in the amazing outdoor shower. We are really looking forward to this last leg of our trip to see what the final stretch of the island has to offer. We are an hour and a half from the airport. We are heading back to Kona town where our adventures began. We are giving ourselves 8 hours to explore before we have to check in at the airport. 


On our way back towards Kona, we stopped in a super cute town called Waimea. Waimea is located at 2,600 feet. The air here is cool and crisp. Big clouds move across the sky between Mauna Loa and Kohala. The Mauna Loa volcano is where you will find snow caps on the island. In the winter season you can ski down this breathtaking volcano. Waimea is also where you will find Hawaiian cowboys. There are not beaches or surfing on this side of the island. In fact there are large evergreen trees and cactus on this land. This is really an incredible sight to see. This town is really a town of it's own, with a very unique look and feel to it.  If I were to pick a town to move to on The Big Island, this would be the town.
