Hawaiian Cruise Day 4

Today we are in Hilo. We have a 6.5 hour tour. We are on a tour bus and will visit the best of the island. This is on the coast of the big island. It is the largest city on the island. Today was so full, I was ready to go to bed at 8:30pm! We had a tour of the island from 9am until after 3:30pm. I had over 8,609 steps for today. But, we stopped at 3 waterfalls, a macadamian nut factory, a chocolate store, a park and a zoo. All in one day. We learned about the history, folklore and people of the islands. We even learned a few Hawaiian words along the way. Albert was an awesome bus driver/tour guide. The tour was called Best of Hilo. And we went all over the island. And when we got back, we had time to sit for a few minutes on the balcony before changing for dinner at Cagney's Steakhouse, a specialty dining option that was a part of our cruise package. Tomorrow is Kona. We don't have an excursion for that island (it is actually on the other side of the island we were on today). We will probably sleep a little later and then go exploring the area.
