Big day on Mauna Kea!
We caught a shuttle from hotel to Kona town and wandered around the shops. Met this guy who took amazing photos of Hawaii and marine animals. The build up for Ironman is truly over powering. This is not Hawaii, it's triathlon city, David is loving it. He's like a kid in a candy store! you can't help but get swept up in it all.
We headed off to Mauna Kea in the afternoon and it seemed like such a long drive. This mountain is the tallest in the world when measured from base to tip. It also has a little area you walk to called the sacred summit. It was a cloudy day so we were a bit disappointed not to see a fab sunset, and the stars were not that great either. I did see a most magical sight though - a ring around the moon (apparently caused by ice crystals). it was very appropriate...
