got pretty dark in the jungle once across the river...partly because
Keith took a "different" route (not purposely) and had to use his
machete to get us through the thick plant growth and back to the truck.
On the way home, Keith offered to buy us dinner at the Liquor store, so
we stopped there and got some nice Lilikoi fruit juice. From there, we
followed Keith back to Lihue, where he introduced us to Dwayne, who has
a little hotel for a much more reasonable price than the Sheraton!
Dwayne called it the "Bates motel" and you can stay there for $45 a
night! So if any of you want to come over here without spending a
fortune, just let us know and we'll get you in touch with Dwayne.
After we left Keith, we found the locals spot for a good meal- cheap!!
Before we got here, we didn't even know what a "saimon bowl" was. Now,
I think we could have this every night! for $16, we got two big bowls
of Saimon- homemade noodles and soup- and 4 sticks of barbequed chicken
and beef. Yummy!
We were wishing we had invited Keith along, but, since he gets up at
3:30 am, I figured he needed to get home to sleep. Anyway,
it was fun sitting there with all the locals and eating our Saimon with
chopsticks and soup spoon (no forks there).
