Kauai from the air






Things were looking up in Kauai. We arrived to sun and went to try Hula Pie. A dessert often mentioned to me from Keahi. It was good. We tried out the pool at our hotel and actually saw stars when walking on the beach at night. After our orientation breakfast we booked a helicopter ride around the island thinking we needed to maximise the sunlight. As we were waiting at the chopper pad the sky was getting dark and they still let us go up in the air. It was a beautiful and amazing ride and kind of scary too. We got to look at the Jurassic park waterfall and they played the music while we were doing that and got to go kind of around the island. The rain was coming east so the pilot did some fancy maneuvers to get us around to the Na Pali coast and the only thing we really missed was the Wailea Canyon which we can try and drive to if it ever stops raining.
