Day 7

 As predicted, diving was cancelled because of high surf.  I was glad because I did not want to go diving in such rough waters. We decided to head up north again and visit the Waipi'o valley. This required a 1000ft hike down which of course requires a 1000ft hike back up. But it was totally worth it. We arrived in a beautiful valley with great trees, a river, and a beautiful black sand beach. We had to cross the river to get to the other side of the beach which was fun. 

On the way back we saw some wild horses.

After the hike up we got fresh coconuts and rambutans. Yum.

And beautiful sunset as always.

We had dinner at Jackie Rey's Ohana Grill Kona which was highly rated. I liked my seafood trio of crab cakes, shrimp and grilled fish - butterfish - but the other grilled fish - ono - was not good, way too overcooked.
