Day 7 in Hawaii - Kauai


I woke up to the sound of roosters crowing. We were warned about roosters entering our room if we hadn’t locked them, but we didn’t take it very seriously.  But it was time we did! It was still raining on the outside as we could hear heavy showers. Once we stepped out of our room for check-out, it was a very pleasant sight that surprised us. All around was some very pleasant greeneryJ Good start to our day indeed!

We started driving towards the Hindu Monastery in Kapa’a and ran into beautiful nature like never before. We stopped to watch over Opaeka’s Waterfalls and then headed to the temple. It was a beautiful Shiva temple and some meditation inside was very peaceful. We drove to an Indian restaurant ‘Shivalik’ and literally hogged there. After some delicious coffee-to-go, we started driving towards the northern most tip of Kauai.

It was sight after sight, beauty after beauty, I just don’t know where to start and where to end and the heart was filled with joy. We came across some beautiful caves, a mountain shaped like Kingkong sleeping, lighthouse, a bird sanctuary and beaches of course. Not to mention, roosters everywhere J. Once we touched the northern-tip, after which there wasn’t any road, we headed back. We crossed Lihue and headed to Poipu where we were staying. It was the same mesmerizing beauty that kept us captivated all through this island. Our destination for the day was the Koa Kea Hotel, rated #1 in Kauai by tripadvisor and I must say that it does indeed live up to it’s expectations. The staff were so pleasant and friendly and the service has been nothing but excellent so farJ

As for Kauai, I think if God were a gardener, this is how her  garden would look likeJ Aloha .. until we meet again..
