Hawaii 15 - last days on Kaua'i

On Saturday we flew from Maui to Kaua'i to spend some more days there. It's the oldest of the major islands with some great results of erosion, the Na Pali coast and the Waimea canyon. 
The coast can only be seen from a boat or a helicopter and also other features are best seen from the air. So I decided to go flying, my first ride with a helicopter. It was amazing and the pictures, I took, don't do it justice at all but they are a nice reminder. 

On the next day we were doing the canyon tour by car, which gives some good insight into the canyon and a different view on some of the features, I flew over the day before. Here one of the waterfalls out of the helicopter 
and in the left top corner as seen from the main out look (hmmm, I don't think, you can find it):
Some nice flowers all over
and other stuff coffee 

We stayed in the Plantation cottages in Waimea, a place, where the little houses from a former sugar plantation where transformed into very individual cottages for vacationers. A really nice environment with a reliable wake up call by feral chicken or better their roosters and some heavy thuds from the Mangos, falling on our roof. Lucky for us, that the coconut trees were a bit farther away

Delicious breakfast

All in all wonderful two weeks, a good start :-)

Looking back to Kaua'i on my way back home to Tokyo
