Kauai Day 1

We arrived in Kauai in the afternoon after a long flight. As we got closer all the islands were visible from the plane, which was an unbelievable site. From the moment we stepped off the plane the humidity hit us and we realized we were in paradise. As soon as we got the rental car we hit the road in search for some grub because our seven hour flight provided no food. We ended up at the Coconut Marketplace which was full of shops and food stands. We settled on The Fish Hut and we both got ahi burgers. Expectation were low and hunger higher so the burgers were the best thing on earth! After our bellies were satisfied we went straight to Kealia Beach to relax for a bit. Afterwards we drove north to Hanalei to explore some and then to our campsite at Haena. We were all tuckered out from a long day of travel and called it a night around 8:30. Haena is a open park next to the beach, people are allowed to camp anywhere on the grass. There was a decent amount of people there and it was a bit noisy at night. The beach it sits on is beautiful and it was one of the better spots were camped at in Kauai.
