... at the Volcano national park. We had lunch at the Volcano house, a hotel in the park itself, and dined on pulled pork overlooking the Kilaurea Caldera This massive expanse which only about 80 years ago was live bubbling magma. Its hard to imagine. Just recently, in the Halema&#8217;uma&#8217;u Crater, a huge dip in the massive Caldera, the volcano has begun to spew sulfur dioxide. We watch this white plume of smoke rise from the opening during lunch and ...

... over the old lava beds. Really interesting to hear all about it and actually be able to see where the hot lava is hitting the ocean (explosion of smoke and heat). Too much to tell but really a great experience. Back to the ship for our last night! Had dinner with the gang and then we all went to the casino together before saying our good-byes!

... for making lemonade out of lemons and for providing as much safety as is possible given the conditions. The biggest problem is that you not only have to drive over several winding, bumpy temporary one-lane (barely) roads, you have to walk at least half a mile over unaltered lava flows, also. The lava on the trail, though cool, is rough: hillocks, cracks, loose stones, pits and jagged edges are the norm. Flashlights and running shoes are ...

... only had an audience of 6! The guy on keyboard and guitar looked like Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid. Unfortunately my steak was revolting. It was doused in black pepper, yuk! Not a very successful night! I went into the store next door and bought some supplies then got the taxi back to the lodge. There was one good thing about the lodge though, free wireless! ;-) So I stayed up rather late watching Mock the Week and Whose Line is it anyway online! Hehehehe!

... Britain - Queen Elizabeth II - as the Queen of Canada. Over time, a major erosion in the use of the French language occurred which prompted calls for independence by Quebec nationalists and for stronger laws to protect the French language from more moderate forces. As a result of these forces, language rights were codified in two landmark pieces of legislation. On the federal level, the Official Languages Act was passed in 1969 giving the French and English language equal ...

... 5 seconds. But it's totally fine - I feel so relaxed right now just listening to all these new jungle sounds outside my door and I have a 2 hr. yoga class in the morning to look forward to, followed by what I heard is a huge and delicious all-natural breakfast with all the other folks staying here! And how appropriate, before I go to bed, I'm now going to read the 2nd Chapter of the book Yvette recommended that I read while I'm on vacation: Eat, Pray, Love.

... this hike to any keen traveller. :-) We were lucky enough to 'bump' into the Honolulu Festival last Sunday - this festival celebrates the present good relations between the Pacific Nations. The main road through Honolulu was closed and numerous parades swept through the street from 16.30 until dark - the finale of the parade was a huge green dragon with flickering red eyes. The parade included people from Tawian, Japan, Australia and America - it was a ...

... little shopping and exploring. It was an adorable and had a great Old Hawaii Town Vibe. There were many antique shops which were very fun to explore and they had a lot of great finds. I picked up a vintage Hilo Water Glass Bottle - which was eventually used to showcase my blacksand I picked up from one of the Black Sand beaches on the island.<br><br><br>
