Day 5 included a tour of some of the more exciting waterfalls on the island. We visited Opaeka'a (pronounced "oh-pah-eh-ka-ah") Falls and Wailua (pronounced "wy-lou-a") Falls. Afterwards, we ate lunch at a local restaurant, where I had my second not-so-good dining experience of the islands. We came back to the condo to relax for a while, and then ate a yummy dinner at a resturanunt called "Coconuts". Very very good food and even better fruity drinks. I'm not usually one to go for the fruity drinks (other than Friday's Ultimate Ass-Kicker), but I've been enjoying some good Hawaiian fruity drinks. Coconuts had some great ones.
By the way, I don't want anyone to complain about their gas prices back at home. We paid $2.20/gallon to fill up our Saturn rental car, totaling $30.
Well, I missed my daily blog time this morning. We had made reservations to go kayaking with Aloha Canoes Kayaks at 10am. The trip was to include a 2.5 mile kayak trip up a river, then a short hike to a swimming hole. Lunch was provided by the kayak company, which was cool.
The kayak adventure was a blast. There were around 10 or so other people in our group, and one (pretty entertaining) guide.
As with any good time, there is a price (besides the hit to my wallet) for our day of fun: Olivia and I both got pretty bad sunburns on the tops of our legs. Olivia actually put sunscreen on hers, but I declined because my legs don't normally sunburn. Well, they did today.
Tomorrow morning we head back to Lihue airport to hop on a plane to Maui. We'll only be on Maui for 3 days total before we hop over to Oahu for the final portion of our trip.

God! Look at those falls! That's awesome man.
Hey- your "not-so-good dining experience"....that wasn't like Mike's kind of not-so-good experience, was it? heh

Sun burn? Whats a sun burn? I'm thinking of trading in my Land Rover for a new boat.

Mike doesn't have "not-so-good-dining" experiences, he just has dining experiences. But, if you had a dining experience like Mike usually does, I can guarantee it was not so good for you--or anyone who has to share a bathroom with you. (thank God for 3-bathroom houses!) :)
