Monk Seals Today.

Monk Seal – the small one – she is all dried off.
Monk Seal – the big one

After starting and finishing our holiday shopping – Billy and I went for a little walk. A couple of female monk seals are known to hang out in this area and we were lucky to see both of them.  Male monk seals are in the 300-400 pound range and the females are bigger. This is a good place to hang out. Not many people. And, just off shore is a fish farm – which must supplement their diet with some easy pickings. 

Billy was going to our candy factory to get candy for his Xmas presents – I went along for the ride and decided to get a box myself to use as my “Secret Santa” gift. That is it for my Xmas shopping. Still have to finish my Xmas Butterflies. 

Sign at the candy factory cash register. Guess their customers aren’t too bright. Chocolate shopping for dummies!

Adventure Plan Monday.

  • Kona to east coast of Australia. Direct flights from Honolulu to Sydney, Brisbane and Melborne. Leave stuff at hotel.
  • Spend a couple of days east coast of Australia – then take plane to Adelaide and take the train to Darwin. It isn’t the best time of year for this trip – but I am running out of adventure time in my life.
  • Figure out how to get to Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia – Snorkel with whale sharks.  OOPS, wrong time of the year for this. 
  • Head to Perth.
  • Train to Sydney. 
  • Back to Kona. Collect stuff. Rest up a few days and head home. 

That is Plan Monday.
