After hiking at Hapuna Beach we came back to the resort for our last night in Hawaii. On the drive back in to the resort, just before dark, we enjoyed a special treat. Lava goats!
There's a flock of goats that lives near this resort. We saw them earlier in the week, too, just after sunset. It was getting pretty dark and I almost hit them as they were crossing the street. This evening there was better light when we crossed paths, and they were already across the road, clambering over the lava rocks. You can't see them all in this short video, but it's a sizeable wild flock. I saw at least 25 goats.
Once back at our suite we ate dinner in our own kitchen then changed for the hot tub. We figured we might as well enjoy one last hurrah here at the resort.
The hot tub was crowded this evening. All through the day we've seen people arriving at the property. The front desk had the welcome wagon rolled out. They even asked us if we were checking in when we went for our aborted timeshare sales presentation. Hmph, nobody was that welcoming when we actually checked in. The property looks to be way more crowded for this coming week than the week we've been here. It's good we were here during a quieter week. Until tonight we didn't have to deal with loud drunk people in the hot tub and unsupervised kids running up and down the halls.
Well, this is our last hurrah. Tomorrow morning we've got our alarms set for 6am. Our flight out leaves just after 9.

Date: 2022-04-24 08:38 am (UTC)The pigs are not small. I'm sure the adrenaline made it look much larger, but I'd swear the one we almost hit with our car was at least 300 lbs. And they seem pretty nasty.
We said, "Good thing we didn't come around that corner ten seconds earlier, or we would have needed a new car and a whooooole lot of barbecue sauce!"
