Kauai2012-Waimea Canyon and Kalalau Lookout to Pihea Trail

---

---

Waimea Canyon is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. Just like a huge valley, a crack in a mountain, a fractured and scarred valley. Just an amazing sight.

Kalalau Lookout is another one of these incredibly beautiful places on Kauai. Just beautiful.

I will not write too many words about it. Just look at the pictures and you will understand me.

Amazing Waimea Canyon!
A place which leaves you speechless

Rainbow at Hanapepe Valley Lookout
Kauai is an island of rainbows. Its raining a lot, but its a very fine rain. Unlike the rain in Europe which has bigger drops.
