Hawaii - May 31 - Northern Shore of Kauai

May 31 was our first full day on Kauai.  We were staying on the east shore.  The west shore is not accessible to cars.  So that left the north and the south.  On this day, we opted to head south.

Melch had found a farmer's market on the internet that sold local fruit as well as BBQ pig and chicken.  The rest of us liked the sound of that, and it was on the way, so we went.  It was amazing...


We got our food to go and pulled over to eat it at an overlook above the Hanalei Bay.  



After all of that time looking at the bay, we figured we'd hop in:


After goofing in the bay for a bit, we continued on westward along the northern coast.  Once you run out of road, you're at the head of the Kalalau trail.  The trail goes for a few hours to a beach and then a few hours more to a waterfall and then a few hours MORE to a campsite.  We had time only for the beach leg unfortunately, but even that was worth the trip!










Once we wrapped up our hike, we went back to Hanalei to eat at a place that was recommended by a coworker.  The meal was as good as the location.
