Day 7 – Nawailiwili, Kauai
Date: January 27th, 2007
Location: Nawailiwili, Kauai
Weather: Excuisite
This morning we were treated to a beautiful view of the sunrise as we were pulling into the dock.
We rented scooters today to get around Kauai which was really a lot of fun, but Tiffany almost took a spill. It was scary as hell, as she almost went into an oncoming car! The lady that owned the scooter rental place gave us directions to a really beautiful area that only locals knew about. We took some pictures with the underwater camera as we left our digital with her thinking we might not be able to keep it dry. The people at Costco exposed the film to light and none of our pictures from Kipu Falls came out very well.
We drove all the way to Wailua Falls on the scooters and took a few pictures and found a fish made of palms.
Halfway through the day when our scooter rental was done, we were picked up by David and Katie in their Jeep rental and we went in hunt of waterfalls.
We then found some offroad trails that we took the Jeep through. It included some water crossings and we ran into a lot of locals including people washing their cars in the streams! It was a lot of fun!
There was a mix of locals who gave us dirty looks and those who waved their beer out their window at us with smiles on their faces! We also found a really interesting sign about a hunting area which we decided not to enter!
We also hit a bird, so we stopped to look at it in the grille and take a couple pictures of the agriculture on Kauai!
We stopped at a few beaches on the way to the end because they were so beautiful. These beaches make the Southern California ones look horrible! A couple we stopped at were Kalihiwai Bay, Hanalei Bay, and Wainiha Bay.
There was also a cave at the end of the road which we had to take a couple pictures of before starting the hike. We didn’t realize the hike was slated to take 8 hours as it’s 11 miles each way, so we began the hike and talked to some people explaining it’s difficulty. We took a few pictures and decided to turn around and go back.
On the drive back we stopped to find more waterfalls and found a couple really neat ones.
Today’s towel animal was a rabbit!
