Kona

The start and finish for the Ironman swim portion


Beautiful Kona


On the Submarine


Parasailing



We got a chance to spend one day in Kona. This was one of my favorite stops on the trip. We missed Ironman by 2 days but we got to see people train for the swim portion. For our day in Kona we were mighty busy. We first did a submarine ride which was fun but we didn't really see anything exciting (we did see dolphins on the tethering boat on the way to the dock from the ship). Also some people were talking about seeing sharks earlier in the week but no such luck. We then went para sailing which was so much fun. It was both of our first times and we got to do it together. The weather and the view was awesome. We were up there for about 10 minutes 1200 feet up in the air. We had a blast. I wish we could have stayed longer in Kona since we missed so much more stuff. Its definitely on the list of go back places!
