Yesterday we visited Maui Tropical Plantation, just up the road from where we are staying. They have gardens, orchards, a restaurant, and tropical gardens. A very picturesque place at the foot of the mountains. We wandered around the acreage and visited their gift shop.
On the way back we strolled along the boardwalk at the Kealia Pond Wildlife Refuge and watched the birds in the ponds and walked the beach back to the car.
Later it was the Super bowl which started at 1:30 our time. Then the pool and later yet, grilled Ahi tuna for dinner.
What a life!
Our first spot exploring on Sunday.
A gorgeous property with gardens and orchards of Hawaiian plants and trees.
Lots of exotic plants and flowers.
These gears where once a part of a sugar cane processing facility. Now they decorate the fountain here.
The fruit of a palm tree and gardens of young pineapple plants.
Folks were zip lining on the property.
Bananas in the banana grove. These are apple bananas and only get about six inches long.
Java Sparrows in the trees.
Strawberry Passion fruit trees.
On to the boardwalk at the Wildlife refuge.
Black necked stilts in the pond.
Night Heron in the grass.
The boardwalk.
A view across the ponds at the refuge.
Looking south towards our condo.
A piping plover. These are endangered in Michigan.
Sunset from our condo.
The sky turned golden as the sun sank into the sea.
Good night from paradise, Jon Boy!
