“It’s ironic, but until you can free those final monsters within the jungle of yourself, your life, your soul is up for grabs.” Rona Barrett
Our second to last day here on this beautiful paradise found us walking through the Limahuli Botanical Gardens on the North Shore of Kauai. These gardens are built upon an ancient Hawaiian community. They’ve done an amazing job preserving and showcasing many of the indigenous plant species, as well as many others that were introduced over the years.
The tour today was self guided – which meant we took four hours to go about a mile! It’s a nice wandering trail that is a nice hike up the mountain to a beautiful vista of the ocean, and then a nice meandering path back down to the bottom. It was completely different from the tour we took the other day at Kauai Botanical Gardens, and very well worth our effort. We took tons and tons of photos.
I’ll be posting a few of the photos on my other blog: Me’n My D800e.
The weather co-operated as well . . . it was windy but didn’t rain on us once. At least not until we arrived back at the Villa’s.
