4th of July Part I

On July 4th, halfway through our vacation, we left the Princeville area to spend the rest of the vacation on the west side in Poipu.  During the drive we stopped at some different scenic places to see more of "The Garden Isle" and snap some pictures.  Here are some select pictures from the drive including a stop at Bubba's Burgers (which takes a Bubba locations visited to 2 out of 3).

Tide pools we stopped at along the east side of Kauai.

After Bubba's we stopped by a waterfall scenic overlook.  The waterfall was about a quarter mile away; we tried to drive back behind it to see if we could hike to the top.  The area behind the waterfall was mainly fenced off and there was no definitive trail so our hopes were turned away.

A bridge running over the river back behind the waterfall.

 Later in the drive we turned off of the highway to see another waterfall.  It was much larger than the first one.  We were also much closer and found a way to get on the rocks right at the top.  The pictures from the top are taken from the rock in between the two falls in the first pictures.

An archaic bridge about 100 yards from the falls.

 After our adventures we had lunch at Duke's in Lihue.
