North Shore Feb 11 2015

We made a trip to the north shore yesterday as the winds were up and so were the waves. They had no swimming or surfing as the waves were rough. They didn't look bad but what do I know?!

I see others do this but my arms are short

We also went to the Waianai Falls Park. Beautiful trees and flowers as we walked about the kept property but the falls weren't as good as we expected. They supplied you with free life jackets if you wanted to swim but we declined. It was very pretty overall.

We made a special trip to Ted's Bakery on the north shore as well to pick up one of our group's individual favourite - banana cream pie. I actually had just a piece of pie for lunch  - while everyone else got some food. The pie was great! So much for calorie counting!

A beautiful canopy of trees throughout the walk

Different kinds of flowers

Beautiful exotic flowers as well

It was worth our $12 each (as seniors) to walk through it. Unfortunately, a number of the side trails were blocked off so we couldn't get into everything. There was a number of historic buildings set up as well but I forgot to take pictures...just looked!

Beautiful large lily pads that open up during the day and close at night.

All in all the day was beautiful. As usual we finished with another beautiful sunset! It really doesn't get much better than this!

Beautiful!
