We just arrived back from a fantastic 5 days on the island of Hawaii. Nick had been several times and surprised me with a visit for a “belated” Birthday celebration. I was always intrigued to visit the Big Island and the mystical places, mostly, the volcanoes!

As soon as we landed we were off. Instead of checking into our hotel, we went straight into Kona to take a visit to the coffee plantations. It was much needed and perfect stop off to start our trip with a quick and “local” way to perk up! Having picked up a few travel books from my local library (which I am a huge fan of!!), Greenwell Farms was recommended as a great spot and luckily it wasn’t too far off the beaten path and it was free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I am (ignore me post-flight mess) tasting and checking out the Kona coffee – so smooth! And the coffee plants with the beans growing on them! Learned a lot with the little tour we had around the plantation. Very neat and recommended!
