Sunday on the Big Island

Waterfall at the Ocean Tower pool

Today we spent some time exploring the resort and taking some pictures.  On our side of the property there are several hammocks in which to lounge, a tranquil spot called "Buddah Point" with a giant statue of a buddah, and a pool with a few water slides for the kids.  I was totally captivated by the inlet at the center of the resort and was dying to go swimming in the middle of that crystal clear water.

On the other side there is an ocean fed lagoon complete with fish and Green Sea turtles.  We went snorkleing in the lagoon and swam with the turtles.  They like to hang out at the base of the man-made waterfall to eat the alge that comes tumbling down.  Robert was captivated by the turtles!
