Paul and I were fortunate to have spent today on the west coast of Kauai. Friday we toured the North Shore and made our way to Ke'e Beach, which is where the roads ends. From there we hiked the Kalalau trail for a couple miles and were able to catch our first few glimpses of the Na Pali coast. This really got me looking forward to our boat cruise this morning - one of the few organized excursions we've done on our trip. Definitely worth it! The Na Pali coast is absolutely gorgeous! We took lots of photos, but they hardly do the landscape justice. The endless expanse of vibrant green rugged coastline was utterly breathtaking. And, to top it off, we saw dozens of dolphins and snorkelled a coral reef.
The afternoon was spent driving the Waimea Canyon road. It was much grander and more spectacular than I expected. I guess that's why it's nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific! The road had lots of lookouts of the canyon, ocean and coast. It was a great way to end our Hawaiian adventures.
Next stop Sydney, Australia! Jenn
