Today, we went to the plantation and took the train ride. It was a pretty low-key day; we were tired and moving slowly. The train ride was okay, but it made me miss Emily and Matt, as they would have really enjoyed it. We rode around the plantation, looking at the trees and plants, and stopped at the pig pen to feed the pigs. They are the wild kind. The guide said there are thousands and thousands (28,000 is the number that comes to mind) of wild pigs on the island, and people can hunt them any time. If someone finds a baby pig, they can take it home and keep it for a pet. I can't imagine that happens very often, but we DID see a guy with a tiny baby pig at a park yesterday.
After the train ride, we went to the beach for a while, then over to "Kalapaki Joe's" where they were showing the UFC fight. Steven met us there to watch it. It was good.
These are banana plants.
This is the mansion on the plantation. It doesn't look like much, but the cloak room (aka closet) is bigger than our new living room. The house is 16,000 square feet. By comparison, our house is 1,800. My question is...how do you keep a place like that clean? (With a full-time maid, of course!)
