Day #6 Well, I am writing the next morning rather than the day of. Not enough time last night to write AND catch an episode of LOST AND get to bed in time for Craig to wake at 4:00 a.m. for a work call. Vacation priorities you know. We’ve already had one inquiring mind looking for the blog post!
Yesterday was another day to be out and about and yes, I know, if I don’t get some pictures posted somewhere soon, folks are going to doubt we really are here in Kauai. Morning breakfast was the usual fare and then folks had until 12:30 p.m. time to spend their time doing what they wanted to do – either pool/lounging time or back at the room reading time. I think you know by now who does what. Craig spent most of the morning on work calls and his big excitement was seeing the Golden Princess cruise ship come in! We have been on that one. Wow, combine Hawaii AND a cruise and you would have one fantastic vacation! The best of both worlds!
For lunch we headed out to Taco Bell and filled our tummies before heading off to Waimea Canyon. Without a doubt, this is the attraction (if you can call a natural wonder an attraction) to see on Kauai. This was our 3rd time up there and it never grows old. My only frustration is that I know the pictures I take will never do it justice; the reds of the dirt, the greens of the vegetation, the dramatic cliffs and feeling of being on top of the world. The drive up into the canyon and back took most of the afternoon. The only disappointment was as we approached the lookout at the end of the road where you have an incredible view of the Na’pali cliffs and coastline was complete shrouded as we found ourselves in the middle of a cloud with a fine mist moving through. So we had to use our memory to recall the beauty of it. Felt sorry for first –time visitors who kept looking through the fog and asking us, “What are we looking at?” Sadly though, no rainbow appeared. In fact, we have yet to see a rainbow all week. Other memories from our trip up there… another tourist pointed out some goats on the cliffs (never seen wildlife up there except for the roosters and chickens) and we saw the most spectacular waterfall. I know – prove it - show us the pictures!!!
On our way back we stopped for a light dinner at a Sunset Bar & Grill near Hanapepe and sat outside to watch, quite appropriately, the sunset. Then back to the Marriott and the end to our day. The cruise ship had left port by then. Our time on Kauai is winding to a close…
P.S. I have now posted a picture of the day for both Monday and Tuesday...
