The hot Hawaiin couple

I still have a ton more stuff I want to post about Hawaii , and hopefully I will get it all done before the vacation is old news but I had to get this picture up right away since EVERYBODY has been waiting for this. We are one classy couple! ALOHA!

The most amazing view at Waimea Canyon

There are actually two look-outs on Waimea Canyon, both overlooking different parts of the island. We almost didn't go to this one, because we got a little motion sickness from the curvy road going up to the canyon that we felt like going back down. Thank God we went, because this view was so pretty!


Andy and Bill above the clouds taking pictures.

This was the first look-out. A completely different view.

Nanette and Andy...and of course a rainbow, because it wasn't pretty enough yet.

Waukeke

We flew over to Honolulu for one day and one night. Here the famous Waukeke beach.




Bill rode a moped up to Diamond Head by himself, because I fucked up and told the moped-renter-lady that I had no experience riding mopeds what so ever...blah blah ...I didn't think that it was a big deal because it's supposed to be soooo easy according to Bill and anybody can ride one etc... anyways, I should have lied...or been quicker in saving the situation...oh I thought you meant have I ever ridden a blue moped?...now I have to live with never have been up to Diamond Head for the rest of my life, but Bill brought back great pictures.
He had a long moped ride,.... ...and a long hike... ...and stairs...
and more stairs... ...but he was rewarded with a beautiful view of the island

Then we met up and went to the famous Waukeke beach and ended up seeing a really beautiful sunset








Because it rains somewhere on the island pretty much all day long there is always a rainbow around.

Monk Seals

...and then we went to this beach were two monk seals were taking a nap. People had put ropes and signs around them so nobody would bother them while enjoying the sun and sand...
















The Resort

Hottubbing at the resort Bill and I did Yoga (sunsalutions) at the beach during sunrise We got some couples massages in the cabanas in the left hand corner Our amazing view The kitchen with Nanette, Bill and Andy Part of the living room We brought a little traveling gnom with who Nanette named Roman. We paid it forward and he is now traveling through the US with Nanette and Andy.

Chicken everywhere

Something else I didn't know....there are wild chickens everywhere in Kauai... it is so weired and out of place, laying on the beach and chicken walk by?
We found out that they don't have any natural predetors on the islands and turned into some kind of pest there? Well... how harmfull can they really be?


The Secret Beach in Kauai

Nanette and Andy bought this really cool book that gave us all these hidden treasures to see while visiting Kauai. One of the things we did was visiting the secret beach. Probably the most beautiful beach I have ever seen.

Tanja and Bill

About a 10 minute hike to the beach

The end of our little hike
We came out of the bushes and saw this! Amazing!
we found a cave were we put our stuff

We started our little hike from the beach to the lava rocks
Andy and I at one of the pools formed by the lava we hiked over lava rocks

This is called the washmashine, we climbed around it, when the water from the ocean hits it it gets really powerfull. We climbed over the lava rocks and saw this little waterfall Andy and Bill at the little waterfall This is how far I dared to go
Andy slipped on the rocks The hike back to the car
