Day Ewalu

 

On Wednesday we all ventured to a gem on the island that Leon and I hadn’t even ventured to on our two previous trips to the island. Polihale Island. It’s the furthest you can drive on the west side of the Island.  Out here its very dry and arid, as opposed to the north shore where its lush and very green.

 

 

One reason we hadn’t visited this place before was because we had read about the long, bumpy, pot-holed filled 4.8 mile road that you have to travel to get there and we weren’t sure how the rental car would hold up.

 



We survived the bumpy 20-25 min drive out there and took in this...

 

 

 

The Napali Coastline is the backdrop for this beach. Its a very long stretch of beach and the sand is hot like fire. We camped out for a bit and tried to soak the view in...

 

 

 

The kids literally soaked in Poliahe... all in their clothes! I didn't carry along their suits because I had read that the current here is pretty strong and I didn't think they'd be able to safely play in this water. To our surprise the tide was low in the spot we were in and it was calm enough for them to play.

 



 

 

 

 

The girls wanted to get in the pool yet again in the evening. They've been in the pool almost everyday on our trip... its the right depth (4'-5' deep) and just the right temp..not too cool, not too warm. They started out timid and now are literally jumping in off the side and Love has picked up some swimming moves to manuever around.

 

Love splashing in....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now you see Lea.. 

Now you don't...
