Dateline Friday May 4th in paradise (I'm lying, it's actually Saturday morning). Spent the day ATVing in the land of Jurassic Park!! Seriously, we started out in the valley where the dinosaurs ran over them while they hid behind the fallen log. What a magnificent view. Proceeded from there through the jungle and fields and mountains for 4 hours. We took a break at a river in the exact spot where Harrison OFrd slid down the hill into the river in the very first Raiders of the Lost Ark. The scene where he jumps on the seaplane and then discovers snakes in the cockpit. We had a wonderful day there. Got plenty wet and muddy too. Afterwards we all went to see the Menhune Fish pond supposedly built by the Menehune, the first "little people" to inhabit the islands. It wasn't much but it was on the list of things to see. Stopped at the local Harley dealership and bought myself a nice T shirt from the westernmost Harley dealer in the world. We came back to the hotel and John and Rhonda made a fabulous dinner for everyone.
Today we are all headed to Waimea Canyon and then to do some swimming and snorkeling at Poi'Pu beach on the south side of the island. It should be another fun day. We are looking for another really nice restaurant for our final dinner here in Kauai. We have eaten at some great places including the Bull Shed Thursday evening where we sat right beside the sea and watched the almost full moon rise over the ocean.
That's about it for today. Sorry about no pictures but the networks here are terrible. In fact it's the only complaint I would have about our rooms and the resort. Tomorrow we check out around 10 and head to the airport wher we will say good bye to John and Rhonda as they are flying home. We are headed over to Oahu for another 5 nights in a different flavor of paradise. There we will see the USS Arizona, and tour the North Shore as well as Honolulu. From what I can see the weather is supposed to be wonderful. It rains a bit here on the garden isle!! Guess that's why it's so green here.
Peace, out!
What a wonderful time you are having! Too bad about the internet connections. Guess when you live in paradise, the outside world sort of fades away and all that tech stuff just isn't so important-otherwise would think the locals would complain!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your last day on Kauai. Tell John and Rhonda to have a safe trip home.
