(Katherine) We headed into downtown Hilo which has a cute little stretch of shops and cafes. We stopped for a bite to gear up for a trip to Rainbow Falls, which I assumed would require a bit of a hike. No such thing – you literally drive right up to the falls and walk about 20 feet! We took some photos, and then drove a few blocks up to the source of the falls – a river called Boiling Pots, which we dubbed “Pee Pee Falls” because it is located off Peepee Street (hehe.) We watched some brave souls jumping from the rocks down below into the water, and then went in search of some beach time. We found a nice spot at Kūhiō Bay, but were only able to enjoy a few minutes of partial sun before the rain attacked. On our way home, we stopped at the Big Island Candy Company, and ironically a tour bus of Japanese children had just arrived – literally, kids in a candy store. You can imagine the chaos, and it was kind of entertaining to watch them attack the samples as they were set out – I accidentally got too close to one platter and almost got knocked over. Don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon.
