Our Last Day in Kauai. Sadface.

So this is our last day of Kauai. We miss it a lot.

Here we go. We wanted to pack in a lot on this day, just to make sure we didn't miss anything. Every day was really leisurely, but the last day we ran all across this island. So we needed proper fuel

Since you can't live on coffee alone.

Banana Pancakes and a Bagel Benny. This is from the same place we went earlier in the trip. Kalaheo Coffee Co. and Cafe. Great place.

Our journey took us to the far West side of the island to this secluded beach. It is like 17 miles of continuous beach, but the only way to access it is via a dirt road that is abour 3 miles long. 100% worth the drive, even though I was paranoid we would pop a tire or get stuck in a rainstrom and then subsequently in mud. Neither happened at the end was this magic.

The most amazingly beautiful beach I have ever seen with no one but us on it.

Footprints???

So much awesome, we went a little island crazy.

Now we were on our way to the East side of the Island. We went to a BBQ place for lunch called Scotty's BBQ. This is the same area where we went bike riding the day before.

Amanda got this open faced BBQ sampler with pulled pork, BLT, chicken breast, and beef brisket. Really good. Oh, and mac salad.

I went with the pulled pork.

Where we live has more BBQ per capita than any place on earth. We eat a lot, especially for a region not known for BBQ. This place was pretty solid. Our home would be happy.

Our last adventure was to a place called Queen's Bath. You have to hike down a slippery trail.

Unfortunately during our descent, Amanda slipped. I tried to catch her but instead smashed her head. And she cut her elbow a little and scrapped up some other areas. But she is a trooper, so we traveled on.

And then you see this. Again, beautiful.

Basically you just jump in. The waves don't really go in it, but the tide is pretty strong. So I jumped in. And then got out in about 4 seconds, but it was pretty intense. I had to wait to see little girls do it first so I knew I could handle it. I know... I know.

And that is pretty much that. We went to the same organic place again for dinner. Had some more amazing food.

Salad round 2

Hummus and pita

Plate lunch with teri beef and chicken.

Next morning we got up, walked around, got a puka dog and left. But we will be back.

Furthermore, tonight is the La Food Fest. It is going to be amazingly amazing.
