Last day 🙁
I found this mangosteen farmer’s market earlier in the week and decided it was finally ready to eat:
Crack open the purple/red shell:
Eat the fleshy white part:
Delicious! (it tastes kind of like slightly sour peach lychee)
I talked Matt into visiting a coffee farm, as Kona grows some pretty tasty coffee beans. These are ripening:
Unripe beans and a some coffee leaves:
Then we spent the rest of the day just wandering around downtown Kona, eating tasty food and enjoying the warm. Found some tiny lizards while we enjoyed some (unpictured) gelato:
Wild bananas!! (they were right outside my dive shop)
We dove up the coast a ways to a viewpoint we spotted earlier in the week. This is looking out to the northwest- in the distance there, that’s Maui!
Haleakalā, Maui!
Looking north, that’s Kohala on the left and Mauna Kea on the right:

Mauna Kea:
And looking back toward the island, Mauna Kea on the left and Hualālai on the right:
I FOUND THE SOUTHERNMOST HOME DEPOT!!
The End.
