We woke up docked at the port in Hilo. With only a day in town, we decided to keep it real mellow and just check out the nearby city life. As we headed out to the bus depot, we were befriended by a woman and daughter who could not stop talking to us. The woman had so much sunscreen on that she looked like a geisha.
