Kauai- March 30

 After a quick breakfast at the condo we drove over to Poipu to get a coffee at Starbucks then on to walk around the Hyatt and along the beach trails.

We then went back and packed up a cooler with sandwiches and beverages and headed off to drive to Waimea Canyon.








I had read about a hiking trail that claimed to be an easy 2 mile hike. We had our lunch then found the trail. The trail head sign said it was a moderate hike, 2 miles in and 2 miles out, not the same info as my book! Since I had read  it was any easy 2 mile round trip trail we headed off without any water, we don't need water for an easy 2 miles!  After about 1/2 mile in and after seeing emergency personnel arriving at the trail head setting up a stretcher, and deciding this is a hard hike and we don't have water, we run into the man and his hiking group who are waiting for the medical help. Injured man is about 30 and seems to have fallen and broke his leg. We let them know that the medical help is right behind us. They have obviously been waiting a long time for help, someone had fashioned a great splint on his leg. We then realize this a a tough hike, us and a few other people gathering at that time decide we are heading back. We don't want to be the next medical evacuation! 

On the drive back we stopped for shaved ice at Jo Jo's in Waimea. 



We ended our day at Merrimans with drinks and food at their bar enjoying the amazing live music. We had the most enjoyable evening!
