Driving for a second day on Kauai. Today it was the mostly the North Shore. We started at the Kilauea Lighthouse.

I mentioned earlier about all the chickens on Kauai. Of course, it's not the state bird, the Nene is. It is the world's rarest goose and was almost extinct in the 1950s.

Kauai is full of scenic overlooks.

The North Shore also has a lot of beaches. The local weather warns about dangerous surf and I can see why.

We made it to the end of the road on Kauai's North Shore. There was (naturally) a beach at the end of it. We also saw some dry caves.
Did I mention that Kauai was the wettest island?
Not just beaches, mountains too.
Anini Beach. Kilauea Lighthouse is in the distance near that small island.
We took some back roads and saw more amazing scenery. This is near Kauai Ranch.
Returned the car today--we put 300 miles on it in the two days we had it. We fly for Maui tomorrow.
Did you know: poi is a Hawaiian word for the staple food of boiled taro root.
