Yesterday was one of the best run of my complete life and I’m not exaggerating for the primary time. We did the Kalalau Path as much as Hanakapi’ai Falls.
Going to the waterfall was my favourite factor we did in Kauai.
We scheduled a shuttle to take us to the trailhead. We booked the 6:20 am shuttle which we have been very pleased with as a result of the path received busier because the day went on. Be certain to get your go early, these spots promote out quick!
Andrew was so sensible to put on a hat as a result of it rained for in all probability 70% of the time we have been on the market.
The primary 2.5 miles are a steep up after which steep all the way down to the seashore. We ran after we might and hiked after we needed to.
My favourite playground.
The views of the Na Pali coast and Hanakapiai seashore have been spectacular and from there we went in direction of the waterfall that was one other 2 miles away.
At first we tried to keep away from puddles however after a couple of minutes of that we simply jumped in all of them as a result of there was no approach to keep away from your ft getting soaked.
We left our sneakers in Hawaii after this, ha.
The entire path was marked so effectively.
We rotated a nook and noticed the 300 ft waterfall and it was breathtaking.
We swam within the pool on the base and we have been the one people there. It was one of many prime experiences of my life. This sort of stuff is the place I really feel closest to God.
PS Andrew tries to behave like he isn’t a runner however then he pulls out this sort of stuff and smashes it.
Prettiest place I’ve ever eaten sweet:
On the best way again we crossed a river and I slipped as we have been going via it. About quarter-hour later (as soon as we climbed again up the steepest hill), I spotted my cellphone was gone. I ran again down and requested everybody I noticed if that they had seen it… nope. Lastly, I remembered I fell within the river and positive sufficient it was there. It was totally underneath water and caught between two rocks. I don’t know how I discovered it (and the way it was nonetheless working) however I’d have been heartbroken to lose all of my pictures (possibly it will persuade me to backup my cellphone😂).
We completed with 9.5 miles (however I forgot to start out my look ahead to some time with the watch state of affairs so in all probability 10ish) and 2700ft of climbing and took the shuttle again to our automotive.
We went straight to Hanalei Poke and nothing has ever tasted so good.
Adopted by Dole Whip and enjoyable the remainder of the day.
Now for a couple of random pictures off of my cellphone:
*My nephew’s favourite factor ever goes to Walmart along with his household (and particularly Andrew). He’s particularly glad if it’s a new to him Walmart so that they went collectively in Colorado.
*After we undergo tunnels (one among his favourite issues ever) he’s satisfied that you’re supposed to shut your eyes and fold your arms as you undergo.
*Knox was making an attempt to clarify to me that apples dipped in scorching sauce are scrumptious.
*When Andrew goes to a brand new restaurant they simply inform them to make him one thing scrumptious with none steerage on what he desires or doesn’t need. He at all times finally ends up loving it!
*My child’s biggest pleasure in life is a continental breakfast at a lodge. Knox couldn’t imagine that they had mini packets of Nutella for him there.
*The right seashore learn.
*I knew I used to be vacationing correctly once I noticed this on my watch.
*Again to our kiddos at present! Can’t wait to squeeze them🤍
