Royal Sea Cliff maintains beautiful gardens.   On a short walk around we saw all these

Our resort has an entertainment lady,  Papua, who not only organizes the events here. but dances too!  she brought be 2 young daughters this week to dance for us too.  They were so cute, very self conscious but this was ony the 2nd time they have danced for an audience like this.

This is Napua, mother of 10!  7 boys and 3 girls.   The oldest son is a Marine and the youngest is 14 months!

Yesterday Kathy and I made Orchid leis. 

I brought mine to our friend Henry,  who is not

Our dear friend Henry Sent love these gorgeous flowers for my birthday!  what a sweet gentleman!  Thank you,  Henry!

We had dinner at my favorite restaurant,  Huggo’s too!

The last couple of days have been high surf!  Crashing waves!  As we lay by the pool,  this is our view!

My favorite way to go to sleep,  listening to waves crash on the rocks.

This morning we were able to visit this little beach park by the Kaila- Kona harbor,  where there is an ancient Hawaiian fish trap and pens.   They have built a wall under the waves at the opening of a quiet lagoon, and the waves at high tide wash fish in that can’t get out!  it is also a perfect beach for kids and turtles! 

Can you tell,  I love the Turtles!  We found out they swim 800 miles north to the farthest,  oldest of the Hawaiian chain,  to mate,  build their nests,  and lay 100 eggs!  The sand is perfect temperature there for incubation of their eggs, to produce both male and female young! 

They have Algae for lunch and we did too…. sorry of!  seaweed salad and Ahi poke! 

The Coral Princess just 25 days into a 131 day cruise around the pacific!  it started in Ft Lauderdale and went thru the canal,  Mexico,  to Hawaii then on to NZ, AU, SE Asia, then Japan,  Alaska,  and to LA.  It will be in Sydney a week after us,  Bali 2 days after we leave there. It will catch up to us in Bangkok and be in Tokyo our first day there!  It goes back to the USA, thru Alaskan waters to LA, SD and then does Alaska for the summer! 

should we jump on?…. nah, I like our ship and itinerary!

We had a lovely day,  driving north along the Kohala coast to Hawi and King Kamehameha’s birthplace and statue!  we stopped to shop and picnic, headed down to Weimea and back home.   Great day!

If you know of our timeshare travels at all, you know we like doing 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.   Here is our first!  it took 3 of us 3 days!
