The Japanese TV Show Chikyu Zekkei
Kikou filmed an episode over here. The name roughly translates to
Journeys to Earths beautiful places. The episode on Kauai was A Garden
Floating in the Pacific. Here is a link to their site.

Of course they had to get me. I started
out at Glass Sand Beach. Not really my number one choice of a beautiful
spot. It got better as I drove her to my house. The narrator was not
actually here or even seen on the show.
She thumbed through my photo album to find a beautiful spot to visit.
She chose the Napali Coast. Much better than Glass Sand in my opinion
at least. After that I promised to show it to her the next day. I
wave goodbye as she drives away. |
|
| |
|
The next day she arrives at the boat
to discover that I am not only an incredible photographer but also
an incredible boat captain too. |
| |
| The weather was good. The dolphins
put on a pretty good show. It was March when they filmed and the whales
were here. They even got some whale breach pictures |
|
| |
|
We snorkeled at Makole. The water was
clear. They got a shot of me diving in to get the mooring. They had
a sea turtle on the surface. They even had her get into the water
and snorkel. The yellow nenue that no one ever believes turned yellow
swam around in front of the camera. |
| |
| At the end of the trip she watched
the sunset. Now that was a long trip. There was a green flash that
I took a picture of. Later they asked for a better one. I ended up
taking another one and they used that. the trick is to underexpose
it so the color doesn't get washed out. |

Of course the show was not all about
me. They also had pictures of Leilani Rivera Bond (Now Leilani Rivera
Low).
She went into the forest and picked ferns for a leipoo. She then made
the leipoo. |
| |
| After the leipoo was made she was off
to hula practice. |
|
| |
|
Hula practice was on the banks of the
Wailua River. The river was a nice brown color due to some heavy rains
but fortunately it was nice and sunny for the filming. |
| |
They don't usually get dressed up and
practice along the Wailua River so don't go there looking for them.
She does do a free hula show at the Coconut marketplace. She also
just opened up a little culture center at the Coconut Marketplace
too. |
|
| |
|
They also filmed the Smith's Boats
and the Fern Grotto.
Kayaking on the Hanalei River with Harley from Kayak Kauai. Harley
also took them to Polihale to look for sunrise shells. It was raining
over there too and the road was a bit muddy. |
| |
| The end of the show was at Kee with
Leilani again. She chanted and the girls danced into the sunset. |
