Two days to go!

The surf season is "supposed" to be just about done here (winter is when surfing is good) but we've been lucky and although the waves have gotten a bit smaller we've been able to surf every day since we got here.

Today we finally made it to Waimea Canyon. It's been difficult to pull ourselves away from the beach but it was well worth it. They call it the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific". It's not as deep or wide as the Grand Canyon but it's spectacular nonetheless.




Waimea Canyon hike

We did a short hike to a series of waterfalls and spent some time at the pullouts overlooking the Na Pali coast (which we hiked part of last week). I guess we were lucky with the weather because we 'did' get a view from the top. There is a small area up there that is "the wettest on earth" with an average annual rainfall of 461 inches.

Clouds rolling in!


See ya later!
