Woke up early and watched the sunrise with a cup of coffee. I was the only person on the beach.I felt like I was in a yoga video. After breakfest, it's of to Ke'e Beach.
Moncong!
Preston and I stopped at the fish market on our way back from Hanalei. It is just a little counter in the back of a shopping center. We bought a fish called Moncong, which we had never heard of before.

Kayaking Hanalei River
We spent Tuesday morning kayaking a river that runs along the side of the main road into a wildlife refuge.
First we paddled inland, toward the one car bridge that is the turn around point. We almost made it, but turned around a bit early.
That is when we discovered how much easier it is to kayak downstream!
This river let out into Hanalei Bay, so we stopped there for a rest before heading in. All in all, a three hour tour.
We then grabbed lunch in town and headed back to the house for a nice long nap in the shade.
