It was a grey sky with rain on its way when we got ready to go to the beach. Our first plan was to go north to Tunnels beach or Larsen beach. We started out with our plan. Going north. But when we got halfway to Lihue it started to rain. So we stopped at Macy’s, Borders, K-Mart, and Hilo Hattie to do some shopping instead. Chie bought some souvenirs and shoes while I bought books at Borders.

We still had a picnic lunch. In the car. At the parking lot of Hilo Hattie’s. Salad.

Getting bored of shopping we decided that the weather was good enough for going to the beach. But instead of going north we returned to the south. To Poipu beach. Close to home.

Just as we arrived at Poipu beach two sea turtles payed a visit. People were crowded around them and the life guards called out that the sea turtles (the rock like thing at the top… The right rock like thing IS a rock) were not to be disturbed all the time. Especially one guy was very close with his camera. NO it was NOT me.

We left the turtles alone and went snorkeling instead. We saw a few fishes but soon gave up. The conditions were quite difficult because the surf was too high.

Back on the beach we read for a while until it started raining. We decided it was time to return home. So we did. Just long enough to take a shower and get going again.
This time we drove to the Poipu shopping mall (cannot remember the name) for some more shopping. Only window shopping this time though. But we made a reservation at Roy’s for 7:30 pm on Friday.

On our way back home we stopped at Big Save grocery store and bought chicken for the chicken curry Chie made for dinner tonight. In addition to the curry we had bread, soya bean salad, Greek salad, and pickled paprika. Yummy!
