Prior to going to Kauai, Joe set up a helicopter ride for us. I was not really afraid to do this. I fly in planes all the time, right? But, the side of the helicopter is mostly glass and I was sitting right beside the door/glass!
OK, one thing that was very reassuring was that our pilot, Travis, was 29! What? But, he’d been flying for 10 years. Good to know. Well, when Travis banked to the left, my side of the helicopter, it felt like I was going to fall out of the thing. I’m glad he did not bank to the left very often! Honestly, the views were phenomenal and I would highly recommend doing this if you ever get a chance. Here are just a couple pictures from the ride.
Many parts of Kauai are impossible to see via driving. You can either hike to some locations and in some cases this would take days, or you can see it from the air. As much as I like to exercise, I’m glad I did this via air.
The Waimea Canyon is very reminiscent of the Grand Canyon. The colors in the rocks were incredible.
OK, back on land. Guess what I saw more of? I told you, they are every where. Oh yeah, more chickens. I love the chickens.
The end to another fantastic day in Kauai. Ahhhh
The next post will be more interesting things from Kauai, including flora, koi and my favorite shop.
