A promising morning weatherwise - love to awake to the sound of waves, the birds singing, and Chester mewing at the screen for us to come join him on the Lanai. We had a leisurely coffee time and then off to the Hukilau cafe for another wonderful breakfast - Bill of course had to take pics of the food - a veggie omelette and banana pancakes. Then we ventured north to Waimea Falls. A beautiful sacred place to the Hawaiians. A large paved path to the falls makes great access available to all. As soon as you enter there are gorgeous peacocks strolling the area. I (Robin) received the first benefit of being 60 - I got in for half the price of Bill! A beautiful forested area with many gorgeous plants and the falls were lovely (the water is red-tinged due to the iron ore in the rock), so not as clear as Northwest folks are used to, but understandably so.
We then proceeded homeward with a stop for more fresh papaya at a fruit stand. Bill snoozed and Robin went down to the beach for some late afternoon sun and reading. I think we finally have "vacation blood "going on. Watched another movie tonight - the third for us, who never watch movies together!! Never mind that movie time begins at 7:00pm because we are so relaxed after all the fresh air.
