North Shore
We spent the last four days in a condo at Sealodge in Princeville on the north shore. The north side of the island is wetter, and the difference from the south shore was amazing. Still has beautiful beaches, waterfalls, mountains, etc., but the vegetation was lush green everywhere. While sitting in Hanalei eating dinner, looking at the jungle and Bali Hai (yes, the famous one from the movie) it really hit us that we were in a tropical paradise.
