Volcanic Lava Plume

Our short stay on the Big Island has been everything that I needed. Volcano Village is quiet and there is enough hiking available at Volcanoes National Park to last weeks. Unfortunately for us thee is no lava visible at this time, but we have seen landscapes that seem like they are from another world. Also, the battery ran out on or camera and e forgot to bring the charger. We did get to see the lava plume, where the lava is hitting the Ocean, but we can only hike to about a mile outside of it. It was still damn cool.

For anyone that is thinking about staying here go to Lotus Garden Cottages B&B, the rooms here are simply the best that I have ever stayed in and the prices are reasonable. It has been a little strange to go on vacation and avoid the beaches (there is a green sand beach here) but we can go to the beach anytime on Oahu, but we can not visit an erupting volcano.
