Stylin’…..Awesome progress Tom Brown!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Is this proof that Hamakua is an after thought since a trip from Waimea to Hilo that travels south is considered circling the island.
The bus trip started and ended in Hilo. I’ll add the Hilo start to the schedule above but the bus had already left by the time this was posted.
So yes, the bus went around the island counter-clockwise starting in Hilo. It didn’t go to Kohala.
Actually the video was done in Hilo as it started the tour.
