Since we got another late start today, we stopped at a hole-in-the-wall Mexican diner called "Red Hot Mama's" at got some of the best burritos in Kauai on our way to the "end of the road"! Although, when we were ordering we were told, "You can have steak or pork. We're all out of chicken; there's no chicken to be found anywhere on the island!"
Umm, HELLO! Have you people seen the innumerable hoards of wild chickens and roosters wandering all over this tiny island?!? Why not just kill some of them, no one would miss them!
So, that's exactly what we said to the little restaurant owner. To which she responded, "Do you want to pluck those things?!" Good point!
So, we gathered our burritos and headed up for a picnic at Ha'ena Beach Park, which we think is just the northern section of Tunnels! I LOVE that beach! After lunch, we headed across the street to check out "Dry Cave" which supposedly was carved out "many millions of years ago" when the oceans were at higher levels" or something like that! Jordan ventured in, but the thought of spiders and bats kept me back near the entrance.
After Dry Cave, we headed up to the "End of the Road" (literally) at Ke'e Beach. It must've been a great beach, because there was no where to park, and since it was still drizzling, we decided to make a stop at the "wet cave" across from the beach and then head further south until we found some sunshine!
On our drive south, we stopped at a beach in the heart of Kapa'a, and although it was beautiful the waves were so ferocious and the beach was a little too shallow, so we decided to keep on driving.
Our final destination, Lydgate Beach Park. We had been here several days earlier, and I figured since the beach is enclosed, it would be the safest water we would find this far north. So, we spent the afternoon lounging in the sand, watching the waves crash over the boulder enclosure. It was a splendid afternoon!
