In March we went to Kauai and Maui for a week in each (using timeshare exchanges)rather than taking our usual two week trip to Cabo San Lucas. Jo had been to both islands previously; I had not been to Kauai. The next blog will focus on Maui
Or first venture on Kauai was to drive up one side of Waimea Canyon, billed as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.
Jo, with our rental Hyundai, on the way to the top. The high ridge in the background is the other side of the canyon.
Can you make out the waterfall in this one?
Good view up the center of the canyon
A rare view of the ocean from road. Elevation at this point is about 4000 ft.
End of the road and beginning of the hiking trail. The higher peak is billed as the second wettest spot in the world with over 400 inches of rain per year
Kilauea Point lighthouse now a bird sanctuary
Jo at our luau Dancers on stage in the middle of the theater.
On our catamaran boat ride along Napali Coast
Typical view along the rugged Napali Coast
Blow hole in volcanic material along beach. Wave water rushes in tube leading to surface many feet from the sea and is forced upward. The sound of rushing air before the eruption of water is called a dragon breathing!
