Kauai - Princeville Trip

Because of the mountains in the middle Kauai is pretty much a drive around the island sort of a deal. After heading south the previous couple of days we headed north to see what we could see.

Taro fields at the bottom of the valley. Taro is still very much a part of the diet in the pacific.

In 1992 a cyclone hit Kauai and knocked over a chicken coop. With no predators and heaps of food they have pretty much taken over the island now.

The end of the road found us at 'Tunnels Beach'. Heaps of people out and about combined with the high swell from the trade winds/tsunami meant the lifeguards were very vigilant.

Why do they call it 'Tunnels Beach'. A big cavern was right across the road from the beach. The kids had never been in a cave before and it was great to watch them exploring. Of course it helped when we told Jaxon that 'Batman' might be inside.

Where's Batman Dad? You promised...... Whoops.

Standing in the dark and then the flash goes off.

Stopped into a great little town on the way back for lunch and a look around.

Was there ever a better looking mermaid?

They are so easily pleased. If only 50cents could satisfy an adults needs we would all be a lot wealthier. Another great Campbell Clan outing.
