We started off our last day in paradise with rain. We were ok with it because we had plans to kayak up the Wailua river and hike through the jungle to a waterfall. Sadly our tour was cancelled due to an overflowing river! Soooo.....we talked to the locals and were told that if we headed to the west side, the desert side we might escape the rain.......

our 1st stop was Salt Pond Beach Park. Beautiful, but windy and we kept getting occasional cloud bursts. We decided to keep heading west as far as possible.....this is what we found.
We drove 5 miles on a road meant for 4 wheelers that eventually opened up to this!!! Can you say PARADISE!!!!! (Polihale State Park)
No wind, no rain and HOT sun! The best part was that ONLY the locals were there. We stumbled upon something great! There was no road left to travel, we went from one side of the isle to the other. Very cool.
After the beach we stopped in a couple towns and then headed to Dukes restaurant in Lihue. What a great spot with great views.
We watched a cruise ship leaving the harbor.
Perfect ending to a perfect week in Kauai! Thanks to our dear friends Bryan and Sara for inviting us to spend the week with them! We had so much fun and MANY laughs! We love you!
We are all feeling a little full after finishing off a Hula Pie!
