kauai day 6: our last beer before tomorrow

breakfast at an outdoor coffee and fruit stand before we head back to waimea canyon for a "mini-hike"

on the first trip there we were too exhasted from the canyon trail to walk to the famous lookout spot at the top of the park so we thought we would make a return visit and check it out.

ummm- yep- pete is once again sporting his super cool black socks with his german tourist hat- (practical but not too pretty pete!)

but when we got there the view was shrouded by clouds

oh goody- another slippery trail where if i fall off the edge it will mean certain death! after hiking that we needed a drink..

so south of the park we stopped at the waimea brewing company, "the worlds westernmost brewpub" for lunch and some cervezas!

their slogan- "the last beer before tomorrow" hee hee

it was set on the grounds of a gorgeous old plantation that is now a small and low key resort

you can rent out these adorable bungalows- so cute (and pricey!)

i think this is a banyon tree? gorgeous- and so huge- this picture shows less then 1/2 of the trunk!

next we headed over to the ritzy SW side of the island (where all the resorts are) for some sunshine

we even fit in a little bit of beach/chill time!

at dinner pete nabbed these awesome long exposure shots, yep- all with our trusty point and shoot (you can do it too- just put your camera on a steady surface- turn off the flash- and make sure your subject holds still)
good job pete- you have done well young grasshopper!
