Kauai - Day 1

This is the first day on Kauai. Well, actually we arrived the previous night but by the time we got the shopping done at Costco and found the Condo where we were staying it was kind of late and too dark for any pictures. It was a bit on the rainy side as you can see. But, we still managed to get out and see the sights. We had a nice leisurely breakfast and then we were off to see the Limahuli Garden.

Bird of Paradise at the Limahuli Garden.



Limahuli Stream runs through the Garden.



These rocks are thought to be a remnant of home sites built by the ancient Hawaiians.



I don't remember what this is but maybe Gale does.



Here is a spider that Gale wanted a picture of only her camera didn't have batteries so I took the picture for her. This was a bit of a trick because I don't really like spiders all that much and this one wasn't exactly tiny.



This is a Cooks Pine Tree.



The rock walls on this terrace style garden has been dated to about 700 years old and is part of an agricultural system used to grow Kalo.



This is a picture of the ocean just outside our condo. After a full day of checking out the Garden we got back to the condo and had some drinks and relaxed on the lanai (or balcony if you prefer) watching the waves.
