Last day in paradise.

Ok. I waited as long as I could. I really thought I would make it. I probably would have if I just stayed at the hotel today but I wanted to go north to Hanalei Bay. So I did it. I fueled up. Scarier than trying to jump off a giant rock lol. I chose the gas station closest to the hotel. I had been scoping them out just in case I needed one. I pulled up and it actually had instruction on the gas pump so it was all good. I put ten gallons in. Probably five gallons too much. I was suppose to return the car empty. Oh well.

I drove up the coastline to Princeville and had breakfast at The Spot North Shore. I waited in line for ten minutes to order. It was totally worth it. Gluten free avocado toast, bacon and bulletproof coffee. Delicious.

Stopped off at some cute little shops on the way. I found my favorite bananas😁 apple bananas.

There was a cute cat at one of the stores.

Hanalei Beach was beautiful. It was huge. I spent three hours in the water body boarding. I caught a few good waves. It rained off and on but it was 85 degrees lol.

It was probably my favorite beach so far.

On a side note: this beach was only 25 miles from my hotel but it took about an hour to get there. There are a lot of single lane bridges to pass and with construction, traffic was crazy. There isn’t a road that goes around or through the island so once you are at the northern most point you have to turn around and backtrack.

I headed south and stopped off at Kilauea Point Lighthouse. It is a wildlife refuge and lighthouse. The Nene bird which is the state bird of Hawaii was there. It is also referred to as the Hawaiian goose.

Back to the hotel to pack. I already organized my clothes into stuff sacks so it shouldn’t take long.

I purchased a bodyboard that can’t come home with me. I am going to leave it on the balcony lol. It was either $25.00 to purchase or rent one for the same amount.

Can’t wait to get home😁
