Kauai - Camping & Friends


Click 'Play' and then on the bottom-right-hand-corner to get full screen!

It's been poring rain again, so I've just been planning ahead, sorting through e-mail, pictures and film material. Here's some pics from the last few days, when I camped at Marc's veranda and his kids Kawai and Sariah + some spiders. Their house is beautifully located at the riverside, just after Hanalei ends.

In general, the north shore is the place to visit if you're going to Kauai. It might be a bit rainy, but usually it's only short showers and the rest of the time it's sunny, lush and gorgeous. The surf is better on the south side summertime, but the best surf is on the north shore wintertime. Go hiking in the nature reserve at the Na Pali Coast, or canoe if you prefere, snorkle at Tunnels beach and hang out at the bars and restaurants in Hanalei. It's as close to paradise you can get - no poisonous snakes or dangerous animals (well, above the sea...), not much traffic and a very private and quiet over all feeling. This is my favourite place on the earth! :)

So how much time do you have in Hawaii? A friend of mine went to the Hilo bay area(?) to check out the active volcanoes there and that looked pretty cool :-)

Great info and nice pics! But I didn't like the spider, is it dangerous? :)

Hi Gard,

I'm here for a week. I think you're talking about the volcano on the Big Island, it sounds amazing. The volcano that created Kauai first began erupting some 10 million years ago, making Kauai the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands and the last eruption was about last eruption 400,000 years ago. But I'll look into it.

Hi Evelina!

They call those spiders 'garden spiders' and they're totally harmless. But it was pretty good theraphy to camp out and discover that the tent was surrounded by those spiders and turn them into my friends...;)
