I started at a nearby beach and followed the coast south. The truth is if it's warm and I'm on the beach I can walk forever... If I had a lavalife account my interests would be "enjoys long walks on the beach" - I'm deep like that.
The nice thing about Kauai is that there are no mega resorts. Once you walk for 30 minutes there are no people on the beach. The whole island is full of beaches that can only be reached by boat or some extreme bush whacking. After a couple hours the beach walking to rock climbing ratio became unfavorable and I opted to follow a path into the bush. Randomly a path would lead to the coast where a crude fort or hammock was constructed looking over the water. Swings made from old fishing nets.
Eventually the path became overgrown and I found myself pushing my way through tall grass and thorn bushes. At one point I found a farm full of chickens in the middle of nowhere. I avoided it. A short time later I passed under a barbed wire fence and found the road. And eventually made my way back to Kapaa where I was staying.
The weather on the island is odd. It rains A LOT here, but only for 30 seconds or so. After that the sun is shining full force. It's like being marinated every hour or so. Not to mention the wonderful smell of earth it brings while in the forest.
