We sailed into Kailua-Kona (or just Kona) on the island of Hawaii on the Royal Princess in 2023.
I walked around town to see some of sights and take some photos while Lynn rested on the patio of Kalikala Cuisine, a waterfront restaurant.
The small waterfront commercial area was nicely laid out with shops and restaurants.
