We loved our avocado treehouse which was the most unique place ever. Elvira and Hugh made us feel very welcome and checked in with us through out the week. Elvie brought over banana bread and the most fantastic fruit called Cherimoya.... tasted like mango - lemon custard. We ate as much fruit as we wanted off their trees... papaya, rhumbata, avocados, grapefruit, oranges, bananas.
We were also blessed to see mesmerizing lava eruptions up at the Jagger Viewing area in the Volcano National Park and the lava tube flowing into the ocean. ( there is a 9 mile walk to view the ocean lava flow)
Do be prepared for daily rain.
Some good places to try: Volcano winery to sample unusual wines and Lucy Taqueria in Hilo for the best $4.25 margarita ever.
Have fun!
