Dette er en sti med meget trafik.. s kom tidligt for ikke at vre i k p den.Den er kategoriseret som en svr hike. Den starter med at du gr p stenklipper og derefter gennem skov. hele vejen gr du lan http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-773224.html S kom dagen hvor vi skulle se kauai fra luften af fra en helikopter. vi flj med et sleskab som hedder Safari helicopter tours og de kan klart anbefales. sprg efter en pilot som hedder Tom han gjorde et fantastisk stykke arbejde og var god til at fortlle og en. Grunden til at det vil vre en god ide at flyvve med ham er at han kom lidt tttere p tingene dette fandt vi ud af da e http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-773220.html Solen var kommet tilbage s vi tog tilbage til waimea canyon for at se de udkigspunkter vi ikke havde vret ved endnu og blev igen bekrftet i at dette sted er fantastisk s smuk et sted har jeg ikke vret fr og vil igen anbefale det til alle so kommer forbi denne og hvis vejret er til det s tag p en hike vi tog dog ikke p hikes idag selvom kroppen var klar.Tilgengld tog http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772879.html der er ikke s meget at sige om denne dag eller det regnede meget s tog en meget afslappende dag p hotellet min krop bd dette velkommen http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772877.html Stadig trt og brugt i kroppen efter hike stod den p en bd tur ud til napali coast s vi kunne se de bermte klipper der skulle ogs snorkles. P vejen ud til havnen regnede det og vi krydsede fingere for at det ville holde op og srme s om ikke regnen holdt op da vi kom til havnen vi underskrev nogle papire p at selskabet vi sejlede med ikke stod til ansvar hvis der skete o http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772876.html Vi var fast besluttet p at skulle p en hike idag s tilbage til WC vi drog. vi havde planlagt at flge to trails som overlappede hinanden. p vejen til WC regnede det og regnen blev et lille tema p denne tur. Kauai er en af de vdeste steder i verden s regn er at forvente. men vi lod os ikke afstrkke af regnen idag. Vi s den klareste regnbue p vejden til WC en dobblet regn http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772539.html Idag skulle det vre. vi ville ud og hike s turen gik til waimea canyon ls WC fremover ja haha ved det godt en hurtig lille krertur p 40min fra vores hotel. lige meget hvor vi kom hen i WC havde man lyst til at stoppe og tage billeder jeg er godt og grundigt faldet for denne dette er det flotteste sted jeg nogensinde har set.. dog er bil et must. men WC skal ses. vi kom tidli http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772534.html Dette var den jeg havde gldet mig mest til grundet de blilleder jeg havde set inden turen og der er ingen tvivl om at denne er get lige i hjertet p. ligemeget hvor man er har man lyst til at stoppe og tage billeder. dog vil de andre bilister nok ikke stte pris p dette da der kun er et spor i hver retning.tempoet p denne er ogs skruet helt ned og det brer prg af at http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772182.html Idag skulle vi videre til Kauai og det var idag at jeg skulle sige farvel til kresten det var hrdt at sige farvel hende...og jeg glder mig til at se hende igen. Det var rigtig dejligt at hun var kommet herned s vi kunne dele noget af det sammen og jeg glder mig til at komme tilbage til Hawaii med hende s ja nu skal jeg desvrre tilbage til Hawaii ja pis ogs dette bliver http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-772176.html Dec 17th A trip to Kee Beach again for gazing the sunset. I just went to the beach and was admiring a beautiful sunset on a rainy evening. Noone else was there which seemed strange to me. Because this was the day when Kalalau trail was closed for more than three weeks. When I got to Haena State Park a police car was standing there and preventing anyone to go on the Kalalau trail. I was allowed t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/Hanalei/blog-770906.html Dec. 18th just before I was flying to Maui. I could not resist to visit Waimea Canyon once again. Even though the weather was worse at Lihue rain and low clouds I went there. And was not disappointed Just amazing again http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-770902.html I had three days of diving on Kauai between Dec 13 and 16. Including a nightdive on the 16th.All dives took place on the south coast. The Na Pali Coast was not acessible because of high swells. I went diving with Bubbles Below a local and great dive company. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-770659.html One of the most iconic trails for hiking is the Kalalau trail along the Na Pali coast from Kee beach to Kalalau beach. that would be a multiple day hike and you have to get a permit. I only did a daytrip to Hanakapiai beach and back.This stretch of land is amazing http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/Hanalei/blog-770642.html 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. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/Napali-Coast/blog-770621.html Spent our first full day in Hanalei hiking the 8 mile round trip trail to Hanakapi39ai Falls. I very unwisely selected my Columbia sandals for this hike thinking they would work best for getting across the small rivers. Um No. You need hiking boots for this trail. And Kevlar. And a helmet. And lots of sunscreen. And a helicopter. It39s no stroll through the park. It39s a kickyourbutt http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/Hanalei/blog-755465.html Today we drove up the east side of Kauai to get to our Bed and Breakfast up north for the remainder of the trip. We stopped to check out the Opaekaa Falls. They were beautiful but just a photo opp. I think you need a kayak to get there. We had lunch at The Mermaid Cafe in Kapa39a httpmermaidskauai.comMermaidsCafeMermaidsCafeKauai.htmland enjoyed a big ol39 wrap of ahi with rice and http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-755193.html The beaches were closed due to the tsunami warning the night before so we decided to take the coastal hike along Poipu which curves around the Poipu Beach Golf Course. It was a gorgeous hike along scary cliffs sand dunes and scrub brush. The golf course was beautiful and interestingly bordered sacred ancient Hawaiian grounds. We walked on the edge of the course as part of the hike with signs http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-755182.html We survived the tsunami warning and spent the morning hiking the coastline of Poipu. It was another one of those moderately strenuous hikes. Oy vey. It took us an hour and a half to cover 2 miles but well worth it. We explored the dunes caves and cliff areas that were breathtakingly close to the sea. Awesomeness.Then Paul fetched lunch while I napped then I swam with the turtles and the fish http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-752511.html We had a pretty laid back day today a his and hers day. Paul indulged me by going to a beautiful park the Kauai Coffee Company plantation and then shopping. We stopped by a church craft fair that had lots of fun handmade stuff. When we got back to the condo we made our own plate lunch with leftover terriyaki steak and rice. I enjoyed a nap while Paul puttered around getting ready for the g http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Hawaii/Kauai/blog-752274.html
