So, Hawaii is pretty brown. Most everyone is tanned and those who aren't seemed to be pink. Climate wasn't as bad as I seem to remember and overall it is quite pleasant. Still no reason to go making everything open air and with limited shade. Waikiki beach, can't see why all the fuss over a narrow strip of sand packed with tourists. Hilo on Hawaii island proper on the other hand was nice and some told me is what Hawaii is really like. Would have been nicer had it not rained two thirds of the time I was there. Sun was out for the most important day which was my trip up Kilauea and around the southeast of the island.
Stopped near what was once Kalapana and visited the black sand beach that was formed hundreds of metres into the ocean. There was a point where all was black and only on the horizon could any greenery be seen. Pretty unnerving sight. Shame the volcano stopped spewing lava only weeks earlier.
Next, up to the crater.
