Hilo, Hawai'i, Hawaii
Late morning, 9 am, we arrive in Hilo, island of Hawai'i, State of Hawaii. To not confuse the island with the State, Hawai'i is generally called "The Big Island." Grey skies, rain on and off. Hilo is in a rain forest area.
We had a tour bus waiting, and in a few minutes we were off to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Looking at the big crater and the little (shown) crater inside of the bigger. Steaming cracks. They have lava tubes, the trail to the lava tube with Wendy showing the rain forest trees:
Back toward Hilo, stop at a (the?) Tropical Botanical Gardens. Relaxing, smell good, very muggy.
