Day 153: Cap’t Andy’s Cruise! Part 1…

Friday, June 8, 2012

Back on Kauai, we hopped aboard one of Cap’t Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruises along the Napali Coast!  These other boats were pretty much like the one we were on.  Everyone left their shoes at the dock: this was a barefoot cruise! We had to motor cling pretty fast to get down to the Napali Coast […]

Day 151: On the Road Again!

Sunday, June 3, 2012

Back for a brief visit at the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge while on the road to elsewhere! The Light. Some of the rocky shore around the Lighthouse. More shoreline and… …a close upon the action. A Red-tailed Tropicbird trying to fly backwards!  Really.  It is part of the mating ritual. A White-tailed Tropicbird out to […]

Day 150

Saturday, June 2, 2012

After our trip up to see Waimea Canyon, we stopped at a nice little place in Waimea, The Grove Cafe, at Wiamea Plantation Cottages on the west side of town. (All photos from my Apple iPod!) They had old ovens and Tiki Torches! It came well recommended by current patrons. After a quick perusal of […]

Day 147: Hawaiian Chicken Dance!

Monday, May 28, 2012

Did I mention there are chickens in Hawai’i? (All photos taken on the Canon Powershot SX100IS) Yes, chickens, right here at the Bali Hai on Kauai! Two chicks and a toe. Although pavement doesn’t seem to me to be the best place to find food… …they seem to like it.  Stupid chickens. Mr. Rooster, on […]

Day 146: On top of Kauai!

Monday, May 28, 2012

The nest morning we drove to the top of Kauai!  Well, almost.  We took as long and winding road up to the Waimea Canyon Lookout, which is almost to the Top of Kauai. Where this canyon ends is the ridge at the back of one of the canyons that come out on the Napali Coast. […]
