Day 11

Wow... Talk about a full day.... We started early and headed out right around 9. The boys went golfing... G and I took the kids to Koloa to book a couple. Of excursions.  We decided to do a bit of sightseeing today and meet the boys in Hanalei. 

We first found ourselves at Walmart to stock up on some much needed essentials like sunscreen, mixers and food... And exactly in that order. Then we headed off to Kapaa to see if we could make the 1230 ferry to the Fern Grotto. Apparently it's a 2pm ride.  So. No. We didn't make that time. We then hopped in the car and took a drive all the up past the Opeaka'a Falls in hunt for Lillie's rope swing she had posted on FB... We were told that it was before the river meets the road.??? As we drove deeper and deeper into the RAINFOREST while it  was Raining . when we were convinced that we had gone the wrong way and may never see the likes of our family again,  we saw it... Right there is front of us.. The river over the road. I jumped out... Like I swore I knew what I was doing... In search for this damn swing. Let's just say the tourencial down pour stopped my mission.

On we went... The rain finally seized and we found our way to this little farmers market... G bought some local goodies and the kids used the restroom 100 times.

Finally they were asleep.... And we enjoyed our ride in bliss. We arrived in Princeville,  G really wanted to see Queens Bath her BFF (TripAdvisor) had told her this place was an amazing site. ***spoiler alert *** what TA didn't say was that you could die if you don't know how to hike down a path. Which apparently I can't. 

After we got to the bottom we had the kids stay near the trail and G and I walked out to the bluffs, which was gorgeous.  The waves were high and rough so we were quick to snap a couple of photos, make the sign of the cross and make our way back. G says that when  the tide is low you're able to jump into natural pool. Maybe next time!

We met the boys up in Hanalei and decided to have dinner at Kalyspo Restaurant,  it's one of our personal faves we go  everytime we're here! We had great food, drink, and of course great company!

We finished off the evening with a dip in the ocean... Tunnels was way to rough to attempt and it was near sunset and raining so we headed to the end of the coast over at Ke'e beach. We swam till the sunset...It was a great end to a fun day!!!
