We availed ourselves of this service and rode the shuttle to the market, which took about ten minutes.

Out on the Town in Hilo

The main drag is called Keawe Street, and there are a number of restaurants here. There are also several small boutiques and artist shops selling local crafts and artwork. A large beach park fronts the center of town, and while we were there a rock band was performing on a stage there, next to a huge banyan tree. In the way of historic landmarks is a clock that is still set at 1:05, the exact time the tidal wave of 1946, which occurred on April Fool’s Day.
