Aloha,
Our ship docked at Nawiliwilli, Kauai, 'The Garden Isle' at 7:00am. We joined our tour bus at the pier and then set off to explore this beautiful island.
On our way to Waimea Canyon we stopped a a large tourist shop and while there I found some new friends. They were waiting for some tourists to come in and buy them so they could begin new lives in far distant countries. I enjoyed chatting with them and told them about the adventures I had.
Our tour bus then continued on to the stunning Waimea Canyon which we were told, Mark Twain called "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific". It certainly was very spectacular. The Canyon is over ten miles long, and almost 4,000 feet deep and was formed by erosion and the catastrophic collapse of the volcano that created Kauai.
From here we drove to the lookout at Kalalau Valley. The views were spectacular down the valley and out to the sea. At Kakalau Lookout I had my photo taken with my new friend, Travel Bug. He belongs to Lorrie who has been our wonderful guide throughout our time in Hawaii.
Back on board the ship I relaxed on my balcony, explored more of the ship and later at night I visited the Mardi Gras Nightclub and saw Balde and Renetta Silva of Toby Beau perform the songs of the Eagles. They were brilliant!!
Aloha,
