Kauai Honeymoon

These posts are a very long time coming.  We have been so busy and the blog has taken a back seat. Yikes.  Heres a synopsis of our last 6 months or so, beginning with our honeymoon.  We went in January after Gav had finished his fall semester.


 We had many, many DELICIOUS shave ices.  We tried all the flavors and they had an incredible coconut ice cream that made it so much better.  Yum.
 We backpacked the Na Pali coast to Kalalau Beach for 3 days of our honeymoon.  It was such a great hike and an incredible experience. The only way to Kalalau is by helicopter, boat (when the tide is low) or by foot.  We chose by foot, but by the time we were coming out, I wish we had chose the helicopter!


 When we got to the beach, the waves were SO huge, it wasn't safe to swim.  But they were something to see.  30 ft. swells at least!
 After we hiked out, we went to this little burger shack called Ohno Burger.  It was amazing.  I still have dreams about that teriyaki burger.
This is an elevation map of the 11-mile hike.  It was gnarly.  After we hiked in, it was hard to face the hike out, knowing what we were going to have to do.  Again, glad we did it, but very hard.

We loved Kauai and cannot wait to go back.
