A stroll in Paradise, south of Kona; a struggle in Makaleha Forest, Kauai.
One of the few tame scenes in Hawaii.
Jen trudges up an exceptionally steep road for a mile while we take photos from the car. As much as we
wanted to join her, someone had to struggle taking pictures.
A gentle scene before entering one of the densest forests ever. Talking of dense...(Makaleha)
Some cliff walking up, over and down Koko Head, Oahu.
Hiking along the cliffs we found this charming spot south of Kona.
Our first day in Kauai, we head for Nounou; yes, yes and visited the sleeping giant. As protection, he
keeps the trail muddy, making it difficult to approach him.
The Sleeping Giant. Apparently his head and feet prominent as he sleeps in the rain. See below for foot tickle.
After reaching the peak in rain and fog, we exclaim, "Touchdown, Chargers". Okay, okay, it's only a joke (Seahawks?)
We found a hike, adventure may be a far better word, which takes one through a bamboo forest and to a group of waterfalls.
Along the way there are river crossings which are a challenge but invigorating. A big benefit is the boots gets nicely washed
if only for a short-while. Unfortunately, it rained hard and we made the decision to return before the river flooded.
Theoretically, we should not have begun this hike (no trail, 'no clue') but it proved to be a most exciting adventure. We cannot
remember being in a more dense environment.
Approaching the deeper and faster flowing section after a nasty fall. The water reached Jenni's chest.
The bamboo girl in a most unusual setting, quite amazing and a little 'spooky'. Order amongst chaos.
Some quick and furious action in dense, wet forest—fast flowing streams and rivers.
Jenni climbing after coming through the river. Is she well one might ask?
A new event at the Winter Olympics, the pole vault over streams.
A stroll along the cliffs near Poipu.
A stroll along somewhat different cliffs on Koko Head.
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
