Hey Young Chefs!
On the second day of the Big Island, we went on a glass bottom boat ride. We saw many honu (sea turtles) like this one above. We saw yellow tang and lots of other fish too!
After the glass bottom boat ride, we went to the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory. They grow and process their own chocolate. This is the inside of a cacao pod.
There are many steps to processing cacao. This is one of the steps called tempering. It looks delicious!
When the tour was over, we bought chocolate and then left to go to Kona Joe’s Coffee Factory.
When we got there, we saw coffee cherries. This is what coffee looks like on a tree.
This is what the medium roast, dark roast, and espresso coffee beans look like after they are dried and roasted. Wow!
When we finished touring, we went to Magic Sands Beach.At the time we went in the late afternoon, the sand was disappearing.
At least it was still pretty. In the morning, where we were standing, it would have had a lot of sand there.
We had such an adventure that day. It was spectacular!
Cool Kids Cook and Explore!
