Compared to Oahu Island, Hawaii Island's sparse population leaves me with a nostalgic and languid impression. Our condominium was at Waikoloa Village on the west coast of Hawaii Island. It was a vast village with quite a few condominium complexes. While I enjoyed myself a great deal in the village, my wife and I went to another condominium, King's Land Waikoloa. After hopping on a shuttle bus, we arrived at the mall in the King's Land area. There were only a few shoppers there. We only saw a few Japanese groups. Contrary to what I'd expected, the area was not bustling with people. It appeared that economically the area was only halfway towards full recovery. We enjoyed a simple lunch at the food court of the mall.
I went for a stroll around the Ocean Tower in the afternoon. Tranquility reigned in our area; they suspended the shuttle boat service—one of two ways to travel between condominiums—leaving only the tram running with a few passengers.
