I was feeling a little better and went on my excursion on Kaua'i.
We took a one-minute van ride to the kayaks, got a brief safety
training, and headed out.
I was in a double kayak with a co-worker of Greer's

|
The scenery was gorgeous!
|
After just over an hour of kayaking, we got out and hiked.
Our first destination was a small waterfall.
|
|
|
The second waterfall was even more impressive!
|
Most people changed (at least their shoes) and wandered in!
|
|
|
After wading and swimming time, we hiked back up a Niagara Falls
Whirlpool trail-like path back up to lunch.
I was still too sick to eat, but the sandwiches looked good!

After
changing and taking a brief nap, I was feeling up for a swim, so I
walked to Kanapali Beach (only a few minutes from the ship) to swim.
What a gorgeous beach!
|
|
|
I
body-surfed for just over an hour. It was so much fun! The
waves were huge!
Stupidly, I didn't think I'd stay very long, so I didn't put on
sunscreen.
The next day, my back was crispy. Still, it was an awesome beach!
|
It was really odd to see chickens and little egrets just walking around
the park near the beach.
|
|
|
The Marriott next to
Kanapali Beach had a gorgeous koi pond open to the public!

|
|
We
left port in Kaua'i early for some scenic cruising along the Na Pali
coastline.

This was my favorite part of the scenic cruising: a very jagged peak!
