We sent the night in Hawi on the northern tip of the Big Island. This is a small town with good food and an artsy feel to it. It rained that night and was the coldest place we experienced in Hawaii. Must have dropped to 65 with a good wind. It was drizzling in the morning.

Our road took us back south but inland a bit until we were back in the sun and overlooking the whole Kona coast.

Soon after we passed through Waimea in the north central part of the island. It started raining again as we approached the east coast. We had planned to stop at the Waipio valley viewpoint but the whole coast was shrouded in clouds and the rain was getting heavier.

We stopped at Kolekole park where we had been a few days before to see how high the creek was. Here is a video that I posted on YouTube.

Here is a picture Linda took of me taking the video.
