We started the day fairly late and visited the Ho'opii Falls. We only visited the Upper Ho'opi'i falls as it was our recovery day :-) R sweetly reminded me that I am yet to make any arrangements for our last night stay and so we took a rather time consuming detour the Kaui county office to secure our camping reservation at the only available campground - Haena Beach Park. It was easy but there was a wait before our turn and the process is fairly slow. D&R were of course engaged by newest (i)possession.
After lunch at a Chinese restaurant, we made our way to Shipwreck beach in the south shore hoping for some boogie boarding action. The wave were high but sloppy and so I was just going to a relaxing sleepy mode on the beach when R suggested we keep moving. So we drove over to Kipu falls whre people were jumping into the falls. I so wanted to do it but was not confident enough. But we did enjoy a nice private soak in the river rapids away from the tourists and touristy action.
Spouting Horn was very cool with all the rainbows but I felt so sad that the sugarcane plantation guy was callous enough to destroy a 200ft blowhole that would have dwarfed the Spouting Horn. The water fountains up to different heights and sprays and makes for good watching and picture taking. Sunset at Poipu at the resort was not something to write home about but motivated us to search for better sunset spots for the next few days. We had dinner at a new Mexican place in Kapaa. Taro leaf enchiladas were quite memorable.
