Kauai: Days 6-7

Day 6: Wednesday morning my parents and I explored around the condo. The Cliffs are located on a cliff (hence the name) but there was a small trail leading down to the rocks on the waters edge. On the way we passed a small waterfall. The water is crystal clear and we tried to follow the coastline to find an easy access to the ocean. We were not successful, but it was fun to explore.

 

That afternoon Scott and my mom had scheduled surfing lessons at Hanalei Bay. They had a great time, and kept their surfboards the rest of the day. I even got up on the board once or twice. 

 

I really enjoyed Kauai, it is called the Garden Island for a reason. It is beautiful. We loved that there weren't too many tourists around. However, there was one thing that I didn't love about it... the rain. It rained quite a bit (on the North Shore, where we spent most of our time).  So although it was sunny and warm... I spent some time looking doing this: (protecting myself and our stuff from the wind and rain)

 

Day 7: Thursday we headed down to the east side of the island and rented some kayaks. We kayaked up the Wailua river to the Fern Grotto and then took a hike to Secret Falls.

 

While we were kayaking my grandma took a class on watercolor and painted a beautiful picture. It will always remind me of Kauai.
