We’re still on the North part of the island, but tonight is our last night at the Kuraoka House. It has been as enjoyable as it was last year this time.
On Tuesday, we decided to take it easy as it was the day after our wedding. We took a driving tour of the East part of the island mostly with the intent to do some shopping and to eat beachside at Duke’s. Duke’s has a great view and the hamburgers are quite good. No doubt the taste is supplemented by how you feel as you sit beachside. We also went to Hilo Hatties where we bought a few things. To date, I have bought six shirts, but one of them is a gift. I just can’t resist these cool shirts.
On Wednesday, we took a boat tour of the Na Pali coast. We’ve seen it from the air, but knew that a boat tour would provide views that were quite grand. We were not disappointed. It took us probably an hour to round the bend to Na Pali, but once we were there, I couldn’t stop taking pictures. And probably my pictures don’t quite do it justice.
We have learned that Kauai and the Na Pali area is quite different now versus the Fall / Winter time period. The area where we were along Na Pali is not accessible by boat during that time period due to huge waves that break there. Apparently there are huge waves breaking next to the Princeville Hotel as well.
Today its Thursday and we’ve done pitifully little today. Its been raining most of the day and we’ve not moved much from our house. I don’t know what it is about Kauai, but every time we come here, we sleep a lot. And that’s saying something for me since I’m a night owl. So last night I got 12 hours! And I supplemented that off with a 2.5 hour nap only 3 hours after getting up. I cannot explain this as I really don’t think we’ve overextended ourselves on any given day. I guess we are just recharging our batteries.
