Day 6
Beach day today at Hapuna. The next beach over from Mauna Kea beach, actually. It's more frequented by locals and it's a State Park. The sand is 200' wide and probably 1/2 mile long.
There was a mini reef in the middle of the beach where Kristen and I snorkeled. The wind kicked up and it got a little rough, so we just swam after that. The snorkeling was pretty good.
Picnic on the beach with some chicken sandwiches, and later in the day we had shave ices.

Got hot and tired and came home to the pool around 3. Struck up a conversation with 2 older couples during a mini Rain Delay, and it turns out they are renting another unit from Jonathan Stirling! They say it's the best they've ever rented.Dinner at Dara's Thai restaurant. It was recommended by Mr. Stirling between 5-6 pm, since it's half price.
In contrast to a poor review in our guidebook, we were actually quite pleased. We had spring rolls, dumplings, Kristen had wonton soup, Jill had a Cornish Game Hen thing and Dave had Green Curry seafood. With a spicy Bangkok Mojito and 2 drinks for Jill, plus 2 Dr. Peppers, the tab came to $91 with a generous tip. We'll be back.
Stopped on the way home to watch the sunset.

Kristen collected some coconuts down below after dinner and now is relaxing in front of the TV, gloating that our TV is so much nicer than the "tiny" TV the people downstairs are watching.
