Yesterday, we drove over to Waimea Canyon, making a few stops on the way. We left a little later than intended, but that gave us a chance to have a very elegant lunch at the Kilohana Plantation. We tried to go on the carriage ride, but we were told that the horses were taking the day off.
We did make a few scenic detours on the way, including a stop in Poipu to see Spouting Horn
and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens.
The drive up Waimea Canyon road was a bit nerve-wracking for me; it felt like a roller coaster ride, with a 1,000+ foot drop on my side of the road. But the canyon itself was beautiful,
with some very unusual vegetation:
Yes, those are hydrangeas in the middle of the tropical jungle.
On the way home, we stopped for dinner at a restaurant in Kapa'a called The Bull Shed, which faced right onto the ocean. I tried to take pictures of the view, but unfortunately they didn't turn out. Oh, well, tonight we're going on a sunset cruise around the Na Pali coast, and hopefully, some more gorgeous pictures will result.
