This is Wailua Falls on the island of Kauai. It’s easy to get here by car and there is a really nice vantage point where you can view the 85 foot falls from above…..but the view from the bottom was just screaming out to us, and we found this really steep path through woods that got us down there. It took about 20 minutes, some ropes and some trekking through mud but we made it. At the bottom, we licked our wounds and stood there being pretty impressed with ourselves……. until we started noticing lots of other people down there…..people than looked like they had much less of a workout than we did. Come to find out there is a pretty easy walking path that gets you there too. I guess we could have done that…but then I wouldn’t have had this overdramatic story to tell.
Sunrise in the village of Funningar, Faroe Islands.
We spent an early morning in Sanur Beach, along the east coast of Bali. There were all these cool boats in the water but this little pavilion looked really awesome with the sun rising behind it. As I set up my tripod, all the dudes under it started to move away. In my best Balinese, I waved my hands frantically and they figured out I meant to stay where they were. After the shot, I found out they all spoke great English.....and were a friendly as could be.
