kauai, hawaii // part ii

we basically went to a different beach everyday...

















not pictured: a whole ton of snorkeling! sea turtles! monk seals! 


found a waterfall with a rainbow (only in kauai...)



drove around a lot


went on an epic, 22 mile long kalalau hike along the na pali coast:




(not pictured: blazing sun, loose dirt paths, terrifyingly high cliffs, endless switchbacks, wild goats, etc)

the reward!!! kalalau valley & beach. 










spent our last few days on the beach,


swung by waimea canyon,


&& had a final drink at the stevenson library




the end.

kauai, hawaii //part i

we just came back from two weeks in kauai. 
the pictures don't really do it any justice, especially since they're just iphone pics.
but it was too incredible a place not to share!

queens bath, princeville.
a natural pool, surrounded by igneous rock.
one of my favorite spots!







this guy greeted us on day 1, by rolling around on the pavement while we unloaded. ♡

uniform for most of our stay :)



view from the sleeping giant (nounou) trail.

from glass beach, where locals used to dump their trash. pretty surreal.


kilau ridge trail.
