The author shared his impressions about the rest of the island of Kauai.
Lihue - Kauai island's capital, in the time of kings had passed a law that no building on the island should not be higher than a coconut tree.
This law is respected and sow day.
When arriving to the Lihue Airport, the first thing you see a wall with a lot of hours, showing the same stop time in different parts of the world.

As is well known, if not for civil aviation, that more than half of the world's travel blogs consisting exclusively of complaints about bad food, we would have to close. The most popular airline in the state of Washington - it's Alaska. Alaska - the so-called low-cost airline. That is not the food of the seven hour flight allowed only three salted peanuts. Need to pay extra for luggage. And if in flight from the old dirty Boeing falls off the bottom, then all passengers automatically charge plus $ 30 for a ticket for extra legroom.

At this enough about aviation, back to Hawaii. The main income of the State of Hawaii - is tourism. Almost every tourist attraction on Kauai carefully cleaned and provided with a sticker Army fighters for Hawaiian independence. That's just wrong. You can have very different political leanings, but it's hard not to like respect for the brave soldiers of the opposition against the tyranny of the US government to carry out this righteous struggle through strategic cleaning public areas.

Old Volcano Mount Waialeale, with its average 10 meters of rain per year - one of the wettest places on earth (tourist brochures and of course do not hesitate to call it the wet). In practice, this means that all tourists trails Pihea Alakai is returned, and covered with a uniform layer of very beautiful red gryazyuku.
