What an amazing five days at Elizabeth’s place overlooking Hanalei Bay. The pictures don’t do it justice! We were a bit surprised by the temperature. There is no AC in most places in Kauai, including this unit. And in July it is pretty hot and humid. So it did get pretty warm in the apartment in the afternoons. But there are fans that helped and it cooled down as the sun went down each day. The open air feel with the screened lanai and open windows made us feel like we were truly immersed in the beauty around us, though. Somewhat like “glamping”, as the amenities in the apartment were exceptional. The sounds of birds singing and insects chirping were actually rather soothing. And the beautiful gardens around Elizabeth’s home added to the wonder. We saw a rainbow from the apartment almost everyday, and sunsets that we will never forget. Truly left a piece of our hearts on this hillside in Kauai!
