Days 3 and 4

We started out Friday with a pleasant walk along the golf course that is attached to this place. We walkeed out to the Lighthouse. We couldn't actually get to the Lighthouse, but only close.
From the Hotel's beach, the lighthouse seems to be on far away, but we walked to it in a little less than an hour. Yes, the wind was blustery, as it has been all week, as you can see by the Palms


We t00k it easy Friday to rest up, which we would need. Saturday we got on a boat at Port Allen and headed out to the Na Pali coast. It was supposed to be a snorkling trip. We did snorkel a little, but the fishes were almost non-existant. It was good to be in the water however.


I had seen pictures of the Na Pali coast before, but pictures cannot do justice to the magnificance and majesty of the cliffs.



On the way back, we did see a pod of 5-6 humpback whales. The whales were playing around a little, and "breeched" several times - meaning that they came mostly out of the water and made some big splashes. I didn't get any decent pictures of the whales, although I did get a few of some spinner and bottle-nosed dolpins. In this picture you can see five or six Spinner Dolphins.
