Welcome to Kauai

January 15, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Got to Kauai, one of Hawaii’s less touristy islands, last night. Here are my thoughts so far…

1. Hawaii has such strong associations with the beach in my mind that I forgot about its mountains. And its rainforests.

2. Apart from its incredible waves, the beach here is comparable in appearance to a lot of other less hyped up beaches.

3. The sand is orange like those you’d find in a sandbox in a park. I expected it to be rough but my feet melted right into it.

4. I actually think Kauai’s main beauty is on its inside. Lush foliage. Broad dark green leaves with brightly-coloured flowers bursting forth in between.

5. I was on the beach thinking I’d blog from there but then I felt like an idiot with a laptop on the beach so I put it away. Also, I couldn’t really see the screen from all that glare.

6. I didn’t spend enough time in the water cos’ it made me dizzy bobbing up and down. It’s boogey boarding or surfing from now on.

7. I hope I have at least a little time to play once the meeting gets started up proper.

8. Watch out for my twitness on the top right hand corner.

9. Going to try to stay awake now. okBYE!
