Kauai

John watches the NCL cruise liner "Pride of America" come into port at sunrise.


Kalapaki Beach

Menehune Fishpond

Meanwhile, Leah is in  the lobby checking to see if Averi messaged in the night.
The lobby is the bottom of the building.
A morning visitor.

The grounds and pool area.

Our breakfast spot.
We spent many mornings eating breakfast on this log by the ocean!

Twice a year they trim the palm trees.

In Kauai, there are roosters EVERYWHERE!

No day is complete without fresh fruit from the market.

Time for shave ice - YUM!

Tunnels Beach
Leah follows a fish along the drop off.  
The dark water is a steep drop off, the bottom of the ocean is so deep it is out of sight.
This fish would not go on the deep water side.


Rubie?  Did you come to Kauai?

An outrigger tour arrives at the beach.  They paddled the Napali Coast.


John hiked the Kalalau Trail to the Hanakapi'ai Beach.
Leah joined along for all the major viewpoints 
and then hiked back to read on Ke'e Beach.

Ke'e and Tunnels Beach



The Napali Coast!  Stunning!

John arrives at the beach.
With this warning - no swimming here!

Big waves!  Strong current!


Stunning everywhere.

This is the Hanalei Town main road.
The arrow points to Tahiti Nui Restaurant,
this restaurant was featured in the movie:  
The Descendants

At this lookout a newlywed couple - literally married a few hours earlier
asked us to take wedding photos for them.  Gorgeous spot!
