They make their money selling macadamia nuts to tourists, but they entertain us with their botanical garden.

Ginger comes in many colors and shapes. The plant pictured at left is one of them.

In Hawaii anthuriums come in several colors.

Back at the dock, Royal Carribbean Vision of the Seas awaits the last of her passengers to arrive from their activities of the day. We get ready for Hawaiian night in the dining room. Tomorrow we will dock in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.
