We went into the town of Hanalei and rented two kayaks, this is better for your relationship than trying to handle a double kayak. We then proceeded up river for about an hour or so. It was a really nice trip with beautiful vegetation, some bird watching and a lot of paddling against the tide. When we finally got to a place that the water was too shallow to continue we started to head back. That is when the rain came on. At first we pulled in under some over hanging branches and got a little shelter, but after a while it became apparent it was not going to stop, so we started paddling again. I thought we'd travel a lot faster this time as we were going with the tide and the wind was at our backs, not so much. It still took a lot of paddling to get back to the boat rental place. When we did get back my legs were a little stiff and it took a few minutes of walking to feel normal again. I am sure my arms will be sore tomorrow, but it was worth it.
After the paddling we decided to check out a little bar in Hanalei called Tahiti Nui and ordered a pizza from Tiki Man Pizza. It is an old school place with the best Mai Thai I have had on the Island for only $7.50. They also have great pizza. We had the Spicy Hawaiian, which had ham, pineapple and jalapenos. It was super tasty, the only draw back, it was $23 for a medium. I checked on-line and the reviews for the rest of the food were not very,good, so you should probably stick with the pizza. While we were there, they were getting ready for a movie shoot with George Clooney. The art department had been there for a few hours setting it up and just as we were leaving the director arrived and told them to put it back the way it originally was. You've got to love movies.We finished out the day with a swim at the beach by the hotel and watched the sunset.
