So, this weekend I went to the island Kauai with some norwegian friends. We left Oahu friday morning and we were at Kauai the entire weekend. Wow, what a beautiful island it was! We rented a beatiful house in Princeville, on the north shore of the island. Princeville is basically a gigantic golfcourse and a couple of houses around the course. We had a garden, swimming pool, plenty of space for six people, and a lot of hens. A lot. On friday, we went hiking to Hanakapiai falls, which is on the famous Na Pali coast of Kauai. It was a beatiful hike, but very tiredsome. We spent about 4-5 hours on the hike, including a break to go swimming at the falls. You can go swiming underneath the waterfall, which was an amazing experience. The view along the hiking trail was also spectacular. You walk on the edge of the mountains on the Na Pali coast, with only the ocean on your right side, and mountains on your left. On saturday, we went to Queen's bath. Wich is a great spot if you want to watch turtles. They often come there to eat near the rocks. Sometimes they put their heads above the water to get some air. Queens bath is made of a lot of rocks, which has been shaped by the waves from the ocean over several hundred years. There are also some great spots there for cliffjumping, which was a lot of fun. Sunday was probably our most spectacular day. We went to the Waimea canyon. Wich is one of the most spectacular places in Hawaii. We went hiking along the canyon and stopped at several viewpoints. What seperates Waimea canyon from other canyons is the luxuriant nature at the bottom of the canyon. The top of the canyon is dry sand, but further down there is a lot of green trees and flowers. It's definately one of the most spectacular places I've been to in the world. After Waimea canyon we enjoyed the sunset at Anini beach, on the north shore of Kauai. All in all, it was a fantastic trip with some great places that you should put on your bucket list. Ole Christian Nymoen
