Waipo’o Falls Hike and Happy Hour
Several weeks ago I had purchased the book “The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook” , yes, from Costco and now I am going though all the hiking trails. I woke up this morning on a mission. You see, during the winter months on Kauai, the swell of the ocean changes, and all of the surf goes up north shore (sometimes insane 30 foot sets). I didn’t know this moving here. I am not that hard core, and there is very small surf on south shore, which I had purchased a couple of foam boards for (yes, from Costco). I will still surf up north at times, but I really want to hike Kauai. There are alot of places to hike.
Today’s trail is Waipo’o Falls. This trail was said to be moderately strenuous and took about 2 hours for me. There was amazing views of the Waimea Canyon from the other side of most lookouts. There are two waterfalls. I had taken a picture of the first, and then my batteries died on my camera (note to self: either by a new camera, or bring lots extra batteries — the video function on my camera does not upload to Youtube). This is NOT me in the video, but you should see the second falls:
On my way home, I stopped by the Kauai Coffee Company for a couple of Free Samples of coffee, as I needed a boost.
Got home, hung out with my neighbors Billy and Terrie, and it was time for Happy Hour with my other neighbor Jeremy. We decided to go to Port Allen’s Sunset Grill. Happy hour was $ 2.00 domestic beers, and the best pupus is the steak, which is a whole steak smothered with sauteed mushrooms and onions and a “special” dipping sauce. Next is a jam session at my pad.
