Our Last Day: Freshwater Pond

It had been many years since we'd gone to the freshwater pond at A-bay, so we decided it was high time to rectify the situation.  Hiking down the beach the tide was low.  It was a lot farther than we remembered.:







 hiking on lava isn't the funnest  and it is HOT:

 By the time we made it to the pond we were all ready for a refreshing swim.  It was really nice and a lot of fun.  We swam around for a long time.  We were ready to hike back when we got a call from Pod saying he was almost there so we all got back in.  Very fun:











 The tide had risen a lot on the way back.  Which made us feel more adventurous.  Lots of honu too:





That night we ate dinner at Pau with Tutu and Papa, and said our tearful goodbyes.  What a fun trip.  What a long time it has taken me to blog about it!!!!  We can't wait for our next trip to Hawaii.  Thanks for having us!
