Morning Sights on the South Shore and near Lihue

Before our helicopter flight, we drove along the south shore to see some of the sights.  Spouting Horn was an amazing little blowhole right near the road, much more easily accessible than the one we hiked to on Maui.

A view of the coastline just west of Spouting Horn.  We saw sea turtles swimming in this little bay.

One curious thing about Kauai is the omnipresence of roosters.  Our helicopter pilot told us that they have actually been on the islands for over 1,500 years!!!  They are everywhere.  I couldn't resist snapping a photo of these cute little chicks:

After Spouting Horn, we drove to another easily accessible attraction, Wailua Falls.  These nice waterfalls are only about 4 or 5 miles from Lihue and were well worth the short drive as you can see:
