October 16 2022 -- Kona

It was a very hot day in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  We had to use tenders to get into port and we arrived just at 11:00.  Wee had no specific plans for Kona, having been here for two weeks not so long ago.  We opted for a "business day" starting with laundry.  

Finding a laundromat was not easy, but we managed to find one in the back corner of a strip mall.  It seemed like a laundromat for the locals.  While our laundry washed we looked for a cool spot to wait and came across a most interesting bar called Dolphin Spit where the football game was on TV.  

(You may be wondering, as I was, who the heck is Verne Troyer?  He was an actor, 2 ft 8 inches tall who played mini-me in Austin Powers...who knew?)

This was a good thing for Paul who had been missing football.

It was an interesting bar with an eclectic array of decorations.

We had a short day in Kona with all aboard at 4:30 so we bid the city adieu and carried on to our next stop.

Enroute we joined our trivia team and for the first time we won...the prize? A picture with the "trophy".
