On our way down to the Kona Coffee Plantations, we took a tour through the resort areas of Kailua-Kona. As we were passing the port area, we came across another "friend" during our island visit:

That’s right, it is the "Pride of America" at one more port of call… Steve, we visited at least 4 ports of call you will visit on your trip in November!

This is a Kona Coffee Bush at Kona Joe’s Coffee Plantation. This is just one of about 25 Kona Coffee plantations found on the Kona side of the island. Most are located to the south of Kailua-Kona by about 5-10 miles.

A look down at the coffee bushes themselves from the patio. The large tree to the back left is the same as the tree in the center right of the previous picture.
