An early wake up call and it was off to our complimentary continental breakfast (one of the muffins looked at Jeremy and said "You're looking very nice today sir!". Jeremy said "what was that all about?". Well, they are complimentary muffins!) - mini muffins, toast, juice and hot chocolate. Controversy again "where are the promised donuts?" the evil two moaned. They ate toast and muffins and survived. We then headed off to the volcano National Park. There were warning signs along the way stressing the dangers of high levels of sulphur dioxide in the air. Annette couldn't see any problems after sharing a motel room with the same levels of gas for the past 3 nights. We saw, in the words of Annette, lots of lava stuff, steam vents and other volcanic stuff. Much to Riley 's joy we went on numerous nature walks. We spent around 4 hours in the park before driving about 40 miles (divide by 8 and multiply by 5, or the other way around for kilometres) to the place where the lava flow meets the ocean. I have just been informed that we also walked through a lava tube. Some stupid American woman wearing thongs (signs are all over the place warning that shoes should always be worn) jumped up in the air to get her picture taken, landed and fell in a puddle.
Mark is just starting to look at food again, Annette can't, Jeremy will eat when you tell him to and Riley, as usual, wants to know what's for dinner at 9.25am.
Well that's about it for the Big Island. Keanu Reeves has just won the football match and the Dodgers are leading the Pirates 8-1 in the bottom of the 8th. After the game we're not sure whether to switch on to the curling or lacrosse channel. So many choices.
ps. back to Day 1, we caught a stretch limousine taxi from the airport - Jeremy's highlight of the holiday before today's free sample of chocolate macamadamia nuts.

Hi Krause Family
Sounds as though you are having a good time even though you are not all well.I can't believe one of you didn't take the opportunity to ditch a family member into a Volcano. Everything is good here except that the club has gone broke cause we purchased too much beer and deb Hinchliffe is having too much fun coaching the girls. The 12s beat the 14s in a game at training so it's confirmed without a doubt now, the 14s are hopeless. I look forward to future reports.
Lorraine
Hi gang, Annette can you believe I actually worked out how to reply (this is my 4th attempt shhh!)
Glad to hear you are having a ball.
Totally disregard any thing Lorraine says. The canteen IS still standing but the fridge has died, microwave blown up, the pie warmer is on the blink and the cash drawer won't open so we are giving the food away.
Ok Annette, breath, in and out in and out, I'm only joking.
You will be glad to know you have not missed team photos as they have been deferred (cann't rem the date) because the draw is not out as yet.
Hi gang glad to hear you are having a ball.
Ignore what Lorraine said, the canteen IS still standing, the fridge has died, microwave has blown up, pie warmer is on the blink and the cash drawer is stuck on closed, so we are giving the food away.
Annette breath,in and out in and out, of course I'm joking.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
