DAY 4 HAWAI'I

Today was helicopter day at Blue Hawaiian Helicopter. My friend and I met at the airport to do our helicopter ride. It was lightly raining and overcast. For a few minutes we thought the ride would be cancelled. The pilot figured out a way to create a ride for us while skirting the storm. 

We took off and we went up the coast to see lava. There is no flowing lava. Since a storm was coming through the helicopter was shaking a lot. Towards the end I was having motion sickness. We got to see the southern coast and then we went to the Chain of Creators. We could not see the volcano because of the clouds with the storm. The pilot was very knowledgeable. 

After the helicopter ride, we went to a nice restaurant, Hilo Bay Restaurant for lunch. 

Then I went to Liliʻuokalani Gardens. The park's site was donated by Queen Liliʻuokalani. It has a beautiful pond with bridges and statues.

Until tomorrow...
