Kauai Day 4 - Plantation Railroad

Today we enjoyed the pool in the morning then went on a train ride at the Kilohana Plantation in the afternoon.
Before the train ride, Ed did the rum tasting at Koloa Rum Co that is on the plantation. The rum is made in Kauai with the locally grown sugar cane and Kauai mountain water.
Most of the sugar cane that was once grown on the plantation has been replaced with orchards of fruit. They are experimenting with many different tropical produce to see what grows best in the Kauai climate.
One stop on the train tour was to see the wild boars.
We were given bread to feed the pigs. The pigs really liked the bread.
This is Oreo. He liked the bread too. He had a really slobbery tongue.
Here is a picture of part of the orchard seen from the train.
We also visited the Kauai Coffee Plantation before heading back to swim in the pool some more.
