Today we did the north shore. While Norman and Janet went to a meeting Jean and I explored Hanalei. Think Puff and the land of Hanalei and you will have a picture of the culture. This is a town that proudly says they have no public wifi in any business and suggest that you unplug and relax. Lots of long hair, beards, surfboards, and bronzed bodies. I did find a shirt for a souvenir.

Norman and Janet met us and we went to a beautiful unnamed beach. Lunch was at the top of a cliff over turqouise water and rocks. Then we hiked down a short steep trail to a long beach with very few people. Lava piles interrupted the incoming waves, creating sand banks on the beach. Beautiful!

We drove to the end of the road looking at beaches and houses. One for sale sign on a woebegone fixer upper caught my attention. It was $1.5 million!

Tomorrow we are taking a dinner boat trip to the Napoli coast.
