It’s nice to enough to sit on a comfortable bench. But how about a bench with a view like this? This is the front yard (or backyard) of the Waipio Rim B&B, a small B&B that sits atop the cliffs on the Hamakua Coast directly above Waipio Valley, the Valley of the Kings. At night its possible to hear the waves crashing on the rocks below and the waterfalls splashing from topside streams down into the lush valley below. A more romantic view in Hawaii it may be impossible to find. Best consumed in the early mornings or late afternoons with the waning light playing off the Pacific and the green verdant valley beckoning.
