We started off this day by traveling along Alii drive. We went into town first, where I was able to try an a\u00e7a\u00ed bowl at Kona Wave Cafe (recommended by several of our friends). I thought it was was really good. Here are the details:<\/p>\n

We then meandered to this beach in Kaloko-Honok\u014dhau national park. We were promised several turtles by the park ranger, but only found one (see the pic below).<\/p>\n

After the beach, we headed back to Keck, to see the sun set below the clouds, and the telescopes. Some tips about getting to the summit. First, you should drive to the visitor center and stay there for 15 minutes to acclimatize to the altitude. Second, the summit is like 1 degree Celsius, so wear winter clothes if possible. Third, you need a 4×4 to go past the visitor center. Four, park your Jeep facing the telescopes and sunset (so you can hop in and out of the car).<\/p>\n

After Keck, we drove to Ola brewery to have dinner, and then stopped by MyBar for a quick drink. Updated Ola Brewery comments are in here: http:\/\/food.johnmatienzo.com\/2020\/11\/22\/ola-brewery\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We then headed to Dersu and Elsa’s to end the night with more drinking \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
