Chickens!

So another interesting thing about Kauai is that it is overrun with chickens. Moa chickens. The story that I've heard is that when Typhoon Iniki tore the place up back in 1992 the chickens of locals got loose and have since gone feral. Cue Crocodile Hunter voice, "Feral Chickens!" Anyway they are everywhere. I only put a few pictures in here. Some are from the hotel, which is next to the water, and the others are from Waimea Canyon at around 4400 feet.

Waimea Canyon Hike

Took a hike around Waimea Canyon today. Wowsa. This island is pretty incredible. The number of different types of scenery you can run into even within a few miles is just incredible. The scale of the canyon is unbelievable. Even standing in front of it, the place just doesn't look real. Humans aren't built to comprehend things this big.

Woof Woof!

Check out these near sunset photos from Northwest Kauai on Barking Sands beach. The big, nay, massive cliffs are the beginning, or the end, of the famous Na Pali coast. I hope to get round the other side for some hiking later on in the week.

The sand dunes here are at least a hundred feet high in places. Walking up them in the loose sand is quite a chore.

Enjoy!

Cap'n! Thar be whales here!

I didn't see any, but I did hear whale song on my dive today. How cool is that? I also saw a few sea turtles, which is always special. Oh, and I saw a Dragon Moray. Let me repeat that: Dragon. Moray. Eel. I started to reach for a d20 right then and there...

Aloha from Kauai!

A day off, a few miles and a few thousand feet. Enjoy the view. I did.
