Back in business!

Bless Lighthaus Camera, just over 24 hours and an overnight express from Maui later, my new (used) 7D camera is here! Now I can stop panicking and start being a tourist again!

Fast-forwarding to mid-afternoon in Kona, walking through the main part of town (AVOIDING the seawall. All that stuff about lightning is codswallop, IMHO), stopping to take a couple of photos of the nearby church:

Church photos!

To join Mum and her cocktail and iced coffee at Daylight Mind. This place wasn't doing much business, so it was nice to sit back and take a few photos while we were there. The obligatory "drinks on the railing" photo:

And a great view of the surfers in action on the waterfront:

Then it was off further along said waterfront, looking for some decent sunset snaps. I managed to find a couple of decent trees and streetscapes to work with:

Before heading back to the condo. Dealing with the camera has been a bit of a headache, and tomorrow will not be the most peaceful of days - we will be heading to a lookout on the far side of the island, but we will be stopping to see some turtles, which should be nice.

Felicity says:

New camera. Whew. Pool time. Woohoo! Cocktails! YAY! That's to prepare me for the 3 hour round trip drive tomorrow. It has been nice to have a bit of down time to prepare me for what will be a fairly frantic visit to Kauai.
