Day 112: Back to the Tracks!

Once again, we depart from our lovely, if very oversized, rowboat, to see the sites.

The first thing we see is one of the few, if not only, bits of four lane highway on Kauai!

 A Kakui nut lei.

We have come to the Kauai Plantation to ride the train.  Afterwards there was also a pleasant diversion.

It is an old Plantation train, with a couple of open air passenger cars.

They have a fair extensive route around the Plantation.  We start near the old manor house that is now a ritzy restaurant, with other shops and stuff inside.  We missed out on the rum sampling…

More blooming plumeria!

Even little tourist type railroads have to have a yard for supplies and rolling stock and such.

And an engine house, even for our cute little one.

More big green fruit.  There are a lot of test crops here, both for the passengers to enjoy, and to find things to replace the now defunct pineapple fields.

Green and orange fruit…

The track here is fairly extensive, and in addition to tourists, they hold weddings, reunions, and all types of gatherings here.  All gotten to by rail, of course!

 Besides the various show crops, there are herds of pigs…

….and goats.

The scenery is well groomed, and the track loops around enough that you never seem to be going over the same ground.

More pigs.

Horses (and a few mules!).

Did I mention the pigs?  Or chickens?

Longhorns (and pigs in the background…).

Beautiful vistas.

All too soon (for me, anyway!) we are heading back to the station.

But not before we pass some Hawaiian chicken coops!

Then we arrive back where we started.

A traditional Hello and Goodbye (and a lot more) on steam locomotive gears!

Now on to the Dancing Girls!

Didn’t I mention Dancing Girls?
