Wonderful house in the rainforest jungle. It rained and lightning thunder at night and was gloriously sunny each morning. The house had everything you need to feel at home, I loved coming back each night to read while being serenaded by the coqui frogs. We cracked coconuts and picked exotic fruit, visited the local farmers markets, swam each day even at the end of October, tasted local coffees and loved the free zoo just down the road. So happy that we stayed in the less touristy area of Puna and explored a real paradise. Of course, now I want to retire here!

Uncle Robert's on wednesday was a fantastic foodie fest with music. The red road is the prettiest I have ever seen. The black sand beaches are amazing. Pahoa is just down the hwy for all your shopping needs, the health food store there is where we got our supplies and at Makuu farmers market (excellent), in Pahoa Pele's Kitchen had great food, we went twice, and we got fresh water at the Volcano! What a paradise and Liz supplied all that we needed. Mahalo!
