Kauai has very different climates on the north and south side of this small island because of the constant direction of the trade winds and the mountain ranges that split the island.
The north is the wet side and the south is the dry side. The rain forest and the famous Napali Coast with its small isolated beaches are on the north. Yeaterday I took a drive up to the north side of the island.
This picture shows how the lush rain forest extends right up to the beach.
The picture below is the end of the paved road...beyond is an 11 mile trail up and down the Napali Coast that can be quite treacherous because of the wetness.
Today I will play golf again and tomorrow afternoon. I leave for my return to San Diego
