Kona, Hawaii
First up,
a stop at a
Kona Coffee farm
One of many
John Deere sightings
that had to be captured for
Ellen
In case you'd
like to stop in for
a visit
Now for the
good stuff ... chocolate!
We stop at the
Original Hawaiaan
Chocolate Factory
A peacock patrols
between the trees
Cocoa pod
still on the plant
Some geckos
aware of the speech,
they arrive to sample some
of the beans
What the freshly
chopped pod spills out.
After it dries it can
start to become
mmm mmm good
Now we're talking A reminder,
its still beautiful
outside
A stop for lunch
where vanilla is infused
in many things ... and
is darned tasty too!
Hawaiian Vanilla Factory
Its a long drive
(Put something else on the
tour NCL!!)
Abby wanted
me to take a pic
of her
Alex gets
equal time
We had to tender
from the ship, so that
gives a good chance
to snap a pic of the
ship from afar
