Come Rain or Come Shine

The last few days have been rainy in the morning. Today was no difference. Once it stopped we went to Poipu beach.

At the Poipu beach it was hot. We read. Took a swim. And then it started pouring down again 🙂

Back to the car. Back home. It had stopped raining. But the sky was still dark grey over Poipu beach just a few hundred meters away.

We spent most of the rest of the afternoon in the garden. Reading and, well, sleeping.

Late afternoon we wanted to cool off. So we again went to Poipu beach. No rain this time. We swam a few hundred meters in the ocean. Enjoying the waves. Read in the sun. Slept a bit. When it was time to leave it started to rain again… Or maybe it was the other way around 😉

Moloa Bay & Kiahuna

Every morning Chie’s friend Eli(sabeth) comes by with her family. And Chie feeds her and her family. It’s a ritual that has been ongoing for quite a few years now. At first it was only Eli but now it is her kids as well.

Once Eli and family was fed we packed our car and went to Moloa Bay. There it was windy and we were soon covered by sand, or at least that was how it felt.

By noon heavy rain clouds were drifting in and we decided to go back south. To Poipu were it is always sunny (almost). We went to Kiahuna and spent the rest if the day there, reading and swimming.

At 5:45 pm we went back home. Made dinner. Omu-rice and spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino. Then we did exactly what we done every other day… Relaxed 😉

When it Rains it Really Pours

Rain again in the morning. It stopped after a while so we went to Kiahuna. Then it started again. So we went to fill up gas in the car.

At the gas station it had stopped raining again. Until I was almost done. Then it was like someone dropped 10 buckets of water over me. Within half a minute I was drenched. Lucky I was in my swim suite 😉

While it was pouring down we went shopping groceries. Went back home to drop the groceries off. And went to Poipu beach… Where it is always sunny 😎

When we arrived at the beach a Hawaiian Monk Seal just slipped into the water and swam away. Though the seal did not want to spend any more time on the beach we spent the rest of the day there. Going back home just before 6 pm.

Poipu Beach

It was raining heavily with thunderstorms the whole night. We sleep with the windows open so I woke up shortly a few times.

In the morning it was still a grey sky, rain hanging in the air. We decided to go to Lihue for some shopping. Chie found some purses and I finally find the Sanuk shoes sandals I have been looking for.

We also had time to stop at Wal-Mart to buy some chocolate for our offices. And some coffee for our friends.

Once our shopping was done we returned to beach life. This time at the Poipu Beach. We had lunch at the Marriot pool side before spending the rest of the day either in the sand or in the ocean.

We stayed at the beach until 5:30 pm exhausted. It is hard work reading books in the hot sand 😉 And we also did a lot of swimming.

At home we prepared dinner. Tonight it was mustard cream sauce chicken, and salad. Yummy!

Hanelei

We decided to go north today. To Hanelei. We stopped shortly at the Princeville Golf Club to buy some polo shirts for a friend.

The next stop was Hanelei Bay. A beautiful bay on the north shore, with a long beach surrounding the bay. And Jurrasic Park mountains with waterfalls completing the view 🙂

We have visited in Hanelei before but this was the first time we spent time on the beach. But not the last time.

On our way home we stopped at Safeway for some grocery shopping. 30 minutes later we were home preparing herb chicken for dinner. Yummy!
