Hello Again Vicarious Vacationers!
Day 4 saw Terry and I putting in some serious driving time. We headed up to Craig's personal favorite part of the Island so far (the North Shore) to beautiful Waimea Bay. It is one of the prettier beaches and has the added advantage of free parking right next to the beach.
While there, Craig finally took the advice given to him by so many of you over the years (Go Fly A Kite!) and the winds were perfect for it -- a steady 15 to 20 miles per hour.
As Craig was flying his kite (with Terry as launch assistant) the lifeguard announced that a pod of dolphins had entered the Bay and that swimmers were required by federal law to maintain a hundred yard distance from them. The dolphins were easily visible jumping, twisting in mid-air, and being extremely playful.
After leaving Waimea Bay, we wound are way along the King Kamehaha Highway with brief stops at the the Kualoa Sugar Mill, and a Macadamia Nut Farm. Both of which offered an insight into the past and present agricultural activities on the island.
After returning back home for a brief rest and to escape the mid-afternoon sun, we headed to scenic but active Waikiki Beach for a sunset stroll. The sunset was reasonable (we're returning to the North wast shore for the more spectacular version later in the week) but it is very romantic and views are amazing from a walk that extends out past the sea wall. Terry and I also got the mandatory photo of us taken with the statue of true Hawaiian Surfing Legend, Duke
Kohanamoku considered many to be the Guru who made surfing such a part of the modern era and set surfing records that last to this day.
Apologies for no photos at this point-the blogger software is being "itchy" so we will be adding photos on the 'morrow.
Maholo Nui Loa!
Craig
