Two lucky guests at the Hilo Bay Hostel had booked their holiday some 4 months ago and had scheduled a helicopter tour of the volcano. It is always a bloody brilliant experience to fly over the volcano area but imagine how bloody brilliant it is to find out that you have arrived just as the volcano is doing its best to splash out with a special show. Kilauea is very active and the show, while not readily available to walk to, is most available on a helicopter.
Imagine if you had seats on a tour that is sold out for days ahead, a tour with the doors open and flying over what has to be one of nature's most brilliant shows. Imagine how you will dine out on the telling of the experience in the months ahead. Talk about having a hot time in Hilo...
The young couple from Canada were over the moon at discovering their good fortune. The cheeky bugger that this old geezer be, asked the chap if he would sell his seats to anyone offering buckets of cash. 'Not bloody likely', the chap tole MOI. I rather think a most excellent adventure awaited the couple.
See what you missed by not being in Hilo?
