Paladin Roaming

Kaua'i

No "tour" today, no bus full of tourists. I rented a motorcycle, a SYM RV200 scooter, similar as my Vespa. Planned to go to the east side of Kaua'i to see a couple of waterfalls that tour bus wouldn't go to, but I got lost and ended up going to Waimea instead. Was going to go there anyhow, for whatever time I had left; just got to have more time for Waimea Canyon. The tourist bus stops at a big lookout and goes back to the coast:

On the scooter, we went further. A stop on the side on the road, another lookout with a small parking lot that a bus would not fit.

Since I missed the eastern waterfalls, I had time to go to the end of the road, to see the North coast of Kaua'i. It is a rather up and down, worse than the Eastern Sierras.

Down the road back to Waimea on the West coast, a bit North, to Mac Arthur Park and the wide beach where the Surfers go:

Getting late, you can see the shadows from the West sun, Wendy and I get back on the Scooter and back to Nawiliwili and the ship.

Stopped for gas, but I couldn't open the tank. Got back to the scooter and sign off. Back on to the ship with 5 minutes to spare.
