Gave the rental van a bit of a work-out driving to the most remote beach on Kauai today.
There are lots of warnings online and in guidebooks about the condition of the road but to be honest, it sort of reminded me of some of the backroads in Saskatchewan – lots of washboard but nothing too bad! Unfortunately, the wind was howling and sand was whipping so we didn’t stay long.
Trivial factoid: this beach is the closest point you can get to Japan while still technically being in North America.
