Kona is famous for its sunny weather (plus sandy beaches and warm ocean waters). Hilo is known as one of the wettest towns in the US, with rain falling approximately 278 days out of the year. But on a positive note, with more than 130 inches of rainfall per year, Hilo produces gushing waterfalls; some of the most abundant in Hawaii.
Why am I talking about the weather? Because it was raining ALL day yesterday. We had breakfast, had a mellow day at the hotel, and then went to watch Deadpool 2 at the local theatre.
