Day 331: 13 November

Friday, November 15, 2013

We were pretty bushed after our day of mud buggies, so we took it easy the next day.  Here are various flowers and plants around the Bali Hai Resort!  I’d like to hear your opinion of what they are.  I only found a couple on the Flowers of Hawai’i guide sheet we got. Ummm…giant lettuce? […]

Day 330: 12 November: Back to the stable!

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Then it is down the road again! (PL2) And around another corner! (KATV) In to Jurassic Park!  Or at least the Valley where much of it was filmed.  Image long necked dinosaurs grazing in the distance… (A five photo panorama.  Click to enlarge; BACK to return!) (P7100) This should be a familiar mountain.  Besides the […]

Day 329: 12 November

Thursday, November 14, 2013

So we started back and the first thing we found… (KATV) Then we soon stopped again. (P7100) We were passing a WWII bunker that had been carved into the rock here. (P7100) We went in the other entrance… (P7100) The tunnels are pretty clean, but that may be from the tour guides… (P7100) The wiring […]

Day 328: 12 November

Thursday, November 14, 2013

At last: Lunch time! We had a waterfall to watch or swim under. (PL2) The Dailylife Dirty Girl! (P7100) The Dashing Driver! (PL2) We circled the wagons, errr, mud buggies, in case of attach by hostiles.  Chickens or cats. (P7100) I mentioned swimming? (P7100) And jumping!  We passed on it.  The thought of cold wet […]

Day 327: 12 November, trucking’ on down the road…

Thursday, November 14, 2013

The other side of the tunnel is a valley where they filmed much of Jurassic Park, and many other hits and misses. (PL2) (PL2) Here we come! (KATV) More road. (PL2) Under the road.  \ (PL2) Near the side of the road. (PL2) Yup.  Too much fun. (KATV) WAY too much fun! (PL2) ~Curtis on […]

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Down the long road to… (PL2) She accused me of doing this deliberately…the mud hole stretched all the way across the road!!! (PL2) If so, I must have gotten carried away… (PL2) (PL2) (PL2) All lined up and somewhere to go! (KATV) In front of a half mile long tunnel through the mountain. (P7100) It […]

Day 324, 11 November, Part 2

Monday, November 11, 2013

As I was hauling the trash across the street to the big trash bins, I happened to look up.  There was a big ol’ waxing 3/4 Moon!  I took several shots with my fancy new 70-300 image stabilized lens.  This is the best (pretty darned good for handheld, if I do say so, and I […]

Day 323, 11 November, Part 1

Monday, November 11, 2013

We had a nice day here for a change.  There was wind and rain last night, and it looked grim this morning.  By lunchtime, though, it had started to clear and was very nice.  We did listen to a timeshare spiel this morning to pass the time while the clouds left, and made $100!  Then […]

Day 322: 10 November, Part 3

Monday, November 11, 2013

We made it out to the lighthouse to see what was happening. (Olympus PEN PL-2 by the Dailylife Wife!) This is the northern most point of the (inhabited) Hawaiian Island Chain. (All others: Canon 7D) As you can see, it was windy and the sea was rough. There were some birds flying around, but not […]
