Today we headed up the east coast of Kauai, past Hanalei. This side of the island is known as the garden side. Yesterday we were on the dry side. We went as far as the road would take us, to the other side of the Na Pali coast, which is the northern end of the island. 70% of the island is not reachable by car. The Na Pali coast is reachable only by air or water. The closest you can get by car is the Waimea Canyon which we did on Tuesday. The weather was beautiful again. Very unusual, according to the locals. This part of the island is the rainiest spot in the World. It gets over 400 inches of rain per year. The weather switched today so that the trade winds were coming back. This meant high winds on this side of the island, which meant lots of waves and surfing. The locals were itching to get to the surf. On the way back we made numerous stops for pictures, and of course Ice Cream at Lappert's. Couldn't believe the surf that was caused by the wind.
Upon our return, we had our farewell Luau dinner. This was tremendous. The show was great, right up until the time that Nolan volunteered me to get up with the Tahiti dancers. I guess I had one too many Mai Tai's. So off I went.Today's Pictures
