Good morning Early Bird! Started of with climbing some trees, then I sneaked passed Corey's tent and over to the kayak rentals. It was a beautiful morning, the sun was shining and not a cloud was to be seen on the sky. Finally! I already Love the Kona side! Hawaii - Sun Sun - Hawaii. Finally introduced to each other.
The rental harbor was very busy - not a place where I wanted to spend my morning. I headed back to start off breakfast. Sneaking by Corey again, I hear someone up in the trees; "I wondered where you went". Way to scare the crap out of me! Some more tree climbing, breakfast and off to a new snorkeling place. Not by far as good as yesterdays reef but it was fun. The overcast start coming in so we decided not to cross the bay. Also, there were no kayaks out, which usually mean no dolphins.
While hanging out at this place we meet some cool people and start jumping of the pier with them. The guy invite us for pizza and hanging out and the girl says we should go and chill at her friends place. We get to this one guys place and it was pretty cool. The first person we see when we walk in, is one of the guys that turned us down when we asked for a ride at the grocery store, don't have to mention we gave him a hard time about that? While sitting on a pick nick table in the front yard, we realize that there in the garden, clearly visible together with tomatoes, they grow marijuana. Just like that. We laugh about the fact that it's hard core jail time back home and keep chilling. For you who don't know, it's legal to have this and that many plants in Hawaii (usually 7-8) if you have a "Doctors Note". You are also allowed to carry like 30oz. on you at any time. They are always way over and do their own thing, but it's still funny to see how open it is here comparing to the Mainland and back home in Sweden. I mean, the Mainland is still the same country and it differs so much. Hmmmm, crazy. One of the guys who live there (the guy with all the permits) answer all my silly questions while caring for his plants and later he shows us his collection inside, describing how to grow them, care for them, clone and sell. It's pretty cool actually. Haha, in a biological science teaching and learning aspect of course. We get back to the people outside. To them it's basics. It's been around them since before they were born, nothing special with weed growing with tomatoes. Noep noep noep.
We head back knowing we have to find our things we left hidden in the jungle without flash lights. We bump in to Uncle Lawrence and this man can talk too. Everyone in Hawaii can talk - even more than I do! He make up for it buy giving us food. Good ol' Uncle Lawrence! All these Hawaiians are so generous, I like it!
It's dark when we reach the beach and I send Corey in to find all our stuff. Sweet deal. (Thanks again..)
We are professionals setting camps up in the dark by now and it goes really fast.
Another great day; more snorkeling, private local music performances with rap and ukulele, free pizza and salad and a movie night on that. Our first "normal" day in Hawaii was nice.
