Up before 6 again today we took an early morning walk to explore Hanalei Bay and the the little town that inhabits it. After 4 miles we were ready to say we had a decent grasp of this little bit of paradise.
We took a little drive in the Charger on Hwy 560 going west which ended at Ha’ena State park, about 4 miles away. That’s as far as you can go in a car. Tomorrow we have a shuttle booked to take us back for a little hike further into the park. Then we explored the posh resort known as Princeville to the east, which was a little taste of “Scottsdale” like development on the island. We easily decided we’re Hanalei people and went back home.
9:45am and I was thirsty. I’d been up for almost 5 hours, walked 4+ miles, it was 2:45pm back home and so after much rationalization, I decided it was time for a beer.
We spent a good part of the afternoon at the beach where we saw the continuation of the building of this driftwood structure by the local kids. They played like little seals on surfboards in the waves all afternoon. Such a different place to grow up, where surfing takes the place of baseball or soccer.
Some of the little seals and the big seals surf into the afternoon sun. Mai Tai’s and dinner at Tahiti Nui and you could stick a fork in us, we were done.
